US President Donald Trump.

Each midterm election typically results in the ruling President's party losing about 25 seats in the House of Representatives.

In the current situation, President Trump's Republican Party is also in a difficult position when Mr. Trump's approval rating is quite low and many laws proposed by the party and Mr. Trump have not been passed.

However, if the Democrats win more seats in the House of Representatives, the political situation in Washington and the world will certainly change.
