The American president is in campaign. It will be this Wednesday night in Florida. Donald Trump will multiply the trips in the coming days to support the Republican candidates in the states where the poll promises to be tight. The president is fully invested in this campaign which he himself presents as a referendum on his action.
With our correspondent in Washington, Anne Corpet
By next Tuesday, Donald Trump will hold eleven meetings or meetings, saying that his agenda of the next few days is almost exclusively devoted to the vote.
In Florida, this Wednesday night, he intends to weigh all his weight in the race for the governorship. Republican candidate Ron DeSantis is neck and neck with his Democratic opponent Andrew Gillum. If elected, he will be the first black governor of this key state.
In six days, the president will go to eight states to lend a hand to Republican candidates in difficulty. He has been traveling the country for several weeks now. Nobody is better placed to mobilize the troops of the Conservative camp.
Donald Trump has a unique talent for galvanizing his electorate. Basically, he uses the same strategy as during the presidential campaign: place immigration at the center of the debate, and relies this time on the advance of this caravan of migrants that it presents as a danger for the nation .
Democrats are divided and uncomfortable about the issue. Donald Trump benefits. It shamelessly exploits the concerns of the conservative white electorate.
