According to Axios, U.S. President Donald Trump is facing a potential storm warning as predictions indicate he may suffer a substantial defeat in the November midterm elections. Recent analyses suggest that Trump's Republican Party may lose its majority in the Senate, which could change the dynamics of governance in the United States.

The midterm elections are unique as they involve elections for all 435 seats in the House of Representatives, while only a third of the 100 Senate seats are contested. Historically, the president's party tends to lose seats in Congress during midterm elections, with few exceptions. Trump's Republicans have maintained a significant number of seats in both chambers of Congress since the 2024 elections, but the upcoming midterms may challenge that status quo.

The article highlights the struggles faced by sitting presidents during midterm elections, noting that only two presidents in the past 90 years—Bill Clinton during his second term and Barack Obama in his first—successfully navigated these turbulent political waters. As the midterms approach, the stakes grow higher for Trump, who must now contend with shifting voter sentiments and potential setbacks for his party.
