[Trump's Economic Policies: Can They Help in the Midterm Elections?] According to Golden Finance, in an interview at the Oval Office reported by The Wall Street Journal, Trump vigorously promoted his efforts to secure hundreds of billions of dollars in investment for the United States, believing that this funding will help change the American economy. However, he also admitted that he could not predict whether this would translate into a political advantage for the Republican Party in next fall's elections. When asked if the Republicans would lose the House of Representatives in November, Trump said, "I can't say. I don't know when all this funding will really take effect." He mentioned predictions that the effects might become apparent in the second quarter. Economic concerns had previously helped Trump win the 2024 election, but since his return to the White House, voters' assessments of his economic handling have turned negative. Trump stated that he would lower prices while insisting that he has already done so. "I believe that by the time we need to discuss the election—meaning in a few months—our prices will be in good shape," Trump said, blaming inflation on the Democrats.
