Historically, United States midterm elections serve as a referendum on the sitting president and the governing party. As voters evaluate the administration’s performance on key issues such as the economy, governance, and domestic policy, the president’s approval rating often heavily influences the outcome. Consequently, the incumbent president’s party frequently loses seats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, leading to shifts in congressional power and potentially creating a divided government.
