The United States faces an unusual mid-term election

The mid-term elections to be held on 3 November in the United States are of particular significance for the ultra-conservative agenda of Donald Trump, a president who violates constitutional principles, attacks the pillars of the democratic system and reneges on international commitments. Faced with the rise of a new generation of Democratic and independent candidates, as well as the possibility that the Republicans may lose the House of Representatives and perhaps the Senate, the White House is sowing chaos and doubt about the electoral process in order to question its legitimacy and allege possible fraud.

Abstract

The mid-term elections to be held on 3 November in the United States are of particular significance for the ultra-conservative agenda of Donald Trump, a president who violates constitutional principles, attacks the pillars of the democratic system and reneges on international commitments. Faced with the rise of a new generation of Democratic and independent candidates, as well as the possibility that the Republicans may lose the House of Representatives and perhaps the Senate, the White House is sowing chaos and doubt about the electoral process in order to question its legitimacy and allege possible fraud.
