00:02President Trump told the Wall Street Journal on Friday that he is uncertain how his economic
00:06policies will affect Republican prospects in the 2026 midterm elections. Trump said he is
00:12unsure whether multibillion-dollar investments will translate into electoral gains for Republicans
00:17because their effects may take time to materialize. He said he expects prices to be in good shape by
00:23the time the election approaches and blamed inflation on Democrats. He noted that only
00:27Bill Clinton in 1998 and George W. Bush in 2002 saw their parties gain House seats in midterms.
00:34Trump's economic policies remain contentious as voters cite rising prices despite his inflation
00:40claims, raising questions about the GOP's strategy for the upcoming midterms.
00:44The U.S. trade deficit narrowed to $52.8 billion in September while job openings rose to a five-month
