President Donald Trump may be worried about the House GOP losing the upcoming midterm elections later this year.

Declining support among independents highlights the challenges facing the president's administration heading into the midterms.

Even as Trump celebrates what his supporters describe as a geopolitical victory, the president is increasingly worried that the year could end with a serious political reckoning at home.

Trump last month pardoned Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas. On Tuesday, Trump blasted him for seeking re-election as a Democrat, calling it an act of "disloyalty."

U.S. military arrested Nicolás Maduro, but Trump backed his vice president to lead rather than support the opposition, sidelining Nobel Prize winner María Corina Machado. Opposition leaders who won the 2024 election are now exiled or imprisoned while Maduro’s ruling party retains power through his deputy, Delcy Rodríguez.

President Trump is still sowing doubt about the integrity of America’s elections. The claims could affect this year’s midterms.
