U.S. politics continues to be reorganized by Seiko Mimaki, professor at Doshisha University Graduate School - U.S. midterm elections and expert talk

Seiko Mimaki, Professor at Doshisha University Graduate School (American Politics and Diplomacy) The results of the midterm elections demonstrate a lack of confidence in President Trump's political line itself. There is a possibility that realignment will proceed in both the Republican and Democratic parties.

There will likely be moves within the Republican Party to distance itself from Trump. The position of Vice President Vance, who is close to Trump and is seen as a strong candidate for the next presidential election, will be in a difficult position. In the future, even if Mr. Trump and Mr. Moto are separated, they will be seen as ``weathervanes'' in the eyes of voters. Another potential candidate, Secretary of State Rubio, has served as Trump's "hands and legs" in the current administration, although his original political line is different from Trump's. This could be a headwind in the presidential election.

In the Democratic Party, radical leftists such as Congressman Talarico from Texas and former county health director El Sayed from Michigan have made significant advances. In the United States, where inequality is widening, many people believe that they cannot survive without a government that guarantees their lives through universal health insurance. In the future, left-wing policies may become the mainstream within the party. The Republican Party, which is unable to respond to the current situation in the United States, will be on the defensive going forward.
