Until recently, before the midterms on Tuesday, Donald Trump had doubted a possible candidacy announced on Monday evening. But he assured that he does not want to steal the show from the candidates he supports. In the face of a flurry of red hats, the 76-year-old ex-president painted an extremely bleak picture of America under Joe Biden on Monday night. A country where rising prices are “strangling households,” where “violent crime is out of control,” and where the far left is “indoctrinating our children,” he says.

A whole host of locally elected agencies that decide notably their state’s abortion or environmental policies are at stake. The campaign for this multitude of voices, collected under the name Midterms, will have given the appearance of one in the last few hours second round of the 2020 game. Donald Trump and Joe Biden faced each other at intervening meetings. For his part, the current President of the United States called on Americans to “defend democracy”.
