🇺🇸 USA: TOWARD A NEW POLITICAL ERA?
The 2026 midterm elections could mark a turning point in American politics. Growing dissatisfaction with Democrats and Republicans is weakening traditional loyalties and opening the door to a possible reshaping of the political system.
📉 Trust in Congress is at an all-time low: just 15% of voters believe that most of its members deserve to be reelected. Meanwhile, a record 45% of Americans identify as independents.
Internal divisions are also deepening. Republicans are facing tensions between the MAGA movement and more moderate factions, while Democrats are struggling to find a balance between progressives and centrists.
💰 The cost of living has emerged as a concern across the political spectrum. Tariffs and the war with Iran have stirred discontent among voters who previously supported Trump.
The big question is whether both parties will be able to build broader coalitions, address the concerns of the middle class, and renew their leadership.
Discontent can become an opportunity for political transformation. But it can also deepen polarization if the parties continue to prioritize their internal disputes over the needs of citizens. (The Wall Street Journa)
