Trump is preparing for the midterm elections, fearing potential impeachment if Republicans lose control of Congress. While he has hinted at an unconstitutional third term, the law restricts him to two, raising the prospect of a party switch in 2028. Historian Updegrove notes that many of Trump’s changes can be quickly reversed, yet some consequences, like the loss of institutional knowledge, will take longer to surface. He suggests economic dissatisfaction, particularly rising consumer prices, may significantly influence the political landscape moving forward.
