The run-up to the 2022 US midterm elections has been marked by the persistent presence of former President Donald Trump. So much so that this election, which typically serves as a litmus test for the sitting president, has transformed into a double referendum on Trump and current President Joe Biden. And the Democrats hope to use this to their advantage.
The 2022 elections in the US are starting to look a little like 2020. On November 8 the US will vote in the midterm elections, a slew of legislative and local elections that usually serve to take stock of the first half of the current president’s term. And yet, in looking at the frontpages of US newspapers, the elections seem to be just as much – if not more – about Trump as they are about Biden.
