US President Donald Trump once again attacked Michigan candidate Abdul Rahman Siddiq on the eve of the midterm congressional elections scheduled for Tuesday. This came during a speech Trump delivered on Monday evening in Washington, where he cited the Democratic candidate, claiming he is a "jihadist" and stating that he should not enter the Senate.
Accusations and Campaign Rallies
Trump claimed that the Democratic Party had chosen "the most extreme and dangerous list of candidates in US history," urging voters to vote for Republican candidates. In previous rallies, Trump referred to Siddiq by the name "Mohammed" and claimed he was a "jihadist," to which Siddiq responded that he would win and speak as "Senator Mohammed."
Election Details and Potential Outcomes
Trump directed his final appeal to voters before the elections, considering them the most important in his life. The elections cover all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 seats in the Senate, including two seats in Florida and Ohio. Republicans currently hold 218 seats in the House compared to 214 for Democrats, and 53 in the Senate compared to 45 for Democrats and two independents.
Impact of Results on the Administration
The results will determine the party controlling Congress during the last two years of Trump's term, with the new Congress beginning its work on January 3, 2027. This attack comes amid fierce competition aimed at controlling US legislative institutions for the remainder of the presidency.
