A look ahead to the US Mid Term elections
Summary
Newstalk Breakfast discusses the upcoming US midterms with Professor David Dunn, who predicts a significant Republican defeat as Democrats are poised to take control of the House and potentially the Senate. The analysis highlights shifting voter dynamics, including declining turnout among young men and a loss of support from Latino voters due to ICE actions. If Democrats gain control, they could launch impeachment inquiries and investigations into the Trump administration, potentially breaking the President's political dominance and forcing the Republican Party to assert independence.
