No, Trump can't cancel the midterms. He's doing this instead [View all]
(CNN) Worried about losing unified Republican power in Washington and mystified at his lack of support among the public, President Donald Trump keeps talking about not holding the November midterm elections, when Republicans could lose control of the House, Senate or both.
Trump doesn’t understand why his approval rating is underwater (and it is, on every issue, in a CNN Poll conducted by SSRS and released Friday).
“I wish you could explain to me what the hell’s going on with the mind of the public,” he told House Republicans in a speech earlier this month.
