One month until the Trump administration's midterm elections, high prices and dissatisfaction with Iran operations are a headwind for the Republican Party

One month remains until the November midterm elections, which will determine the future management of US President Trump's administration. Republicans are facing headwinds due to rising prices and dissatisfaction with the protracted military campaign against Iran, and there are widespread expectations that Democrats will retake the House of Representatives. The Senate race remains close, and the fate of seven states, including Republican strongholds Texas and Ohio, will be key. At a campaign rally in Oklahoma, Mr. Trump emphasized that he would ``defeat the radical left-wing Democratic Party,'' and intends to leverage himself in various parts of the country toward the end of the campaign. A Reuters poll shows Trump's approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 32%.

Discussion of postponing the reduction in the number of members of the House of Representatives has emerged within the Liberal Democratic Party, giving top priority to enacting the consumption tax reduction bill

There are voices within the Liberal Democratic Party calling for postponing discussions on reducing the number of members of the House of Representatives ahead of the convening of an extraordinary Diet session. Amid continued opposition from opposition parties, there are concerns that this will affect the deliberations on the consumption tax reduction bill, which is a top priority for the Takaichi administration. The ruling party, the Japan Restoration Party, has not wavered from its stance of calling for an early reduction in the number of seats, and there is a difference in opinion within the ruling party. The ruling and opposition parties have agreed to reach a conclusion on the review of the current House of Representatives election system by the end of October, but while the ruling party has called for discussion on reducing the number of seats, the opposition parties have indicated that they will not respond.

The issue in the US mid-term elections will be the response to high prices, the impact of the Trump administration's inflation measures and trade friction caused by high tariffs.

The issue in the US midterm elections is how to deal with persistently high prices. The Trump administration has launched measures to combat inflation, but rising gasoline prices due to trade friction with Canada and the conflict with Iran are raising concerns that prices will continue to rise for a long time. On the other hand, there is also evidence of economic resilience due to AI investment and optimism from senior Federal Reserve officials. 55% of voters feel that the Trump administration's economic policies have had a negative impact, and rising mortgage rates are likely to dampen consumption and increase dissatisfaction with the administration.

Government releases draft ordinance on requirements for designation as sub-capital, targeting four prefectures: Hokkaido, Aichi, Osaka, and Fukuoka

On the 3rd, the government announced a draft ordinance establishing requirements for designating a sub-capital based on laws related to the sub-capital concept, which aims to replace the function of the capital. The four prefectures that meet the requirements are Hokkaido, Aichi, Osaka, and Fukuoka, and all of them have announced their intention to apply to the national government. In order to avoid simultaneous damage to the Tokyo area, the draft ordinance sets requirements such as the number of national government agencies to be established, the population of designated cities, and the size of the economy, excluding areas expected to be damaged by an earthquake directly hitting the Tokyo metropolitan area or by the eruption of Mt. Fuji. The four prefectures currently meet the requirements (1) to (3), and can apply after the environment in (4) is established. Public comments will be held until the end of this month before a decision will be made.
