Trump Hints at Surprise Midterm Victory, Saying, "Watch for the Surprise"

U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned the possibility of a surprise victory in the midterm elections on the 6th, local time.

President Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, that day, "The crowds and enthusiasm at my rallies are unbelievable. No one has ever seen anything like this," adding, "We are turning the tide in races everywhere."

Starting with visits to Texas and Oklahoma on the 1st, President Trump has been conducting regional tour rallies almost every day.

With less than a month left before the midterm elections on November 3, he is attempting to rally his base while supporting Republican candidates locked in tight races with Democratic opponents.

His post that day claims that the election landscape, which had been turning unfavorable for the Republicans, is shifting since he directly jumped into the campaign.

Various current polls project that the Republican Party could lose its majority status to the Democratic Party not only in the federal House of Representatives but also in the Senate in this election.

However, President Trump has dismissed such outlooks as fake news and appears to be promoting conservative base consolidation by putting forward the idea of a surprise victory.

President Trump stated, "The fake news knows this (the shifting tide) as well, but they don't want to tell the truth to their viewers," adding, "It is all really happening. The Dumocrats (a portmanteau of Democrats and Dumb) didn't expect this at all."

In particular, he urged people to "watch for the 'Midterm Surprise,'" claiming that the Republican Party will achieve a "surprise victory."
