The upcoming midterm elections in the U.S. are crucial not only for Americans but also for Europe, as they could reshape Trump's power. Analysts debate whether a MAGA defeat would hinder Trump or if he remains unaffected regardless of the outcome. The U.S. Congress holds significant budgetary power, which could impact security policies towards Europe, particularly the Eastern Flank. Gabriela Ciot, an expert in international negotiations, discusses the implications of a potentially Democrat-controlled Congress on Trump's influence and the future of MAGA. The elections may reveal whether MAGA is a lasting political force or a transient phenomenon, with significant financial backing from major donors. The polarization in U.S. politics raises questions about the resilience of its institutional framework and its ability to manage legislative gridlock, which could lead to unpredictability in transatlantic relations.
