Welcome to The Independent's US evening newsletter
Donald Trump is turning to his Truth Social feed as the last reliable place where his conspiracies about the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago can go unchallenged. The ex-president let loose a series of memes, "retruths", and otherwise angry statements over Monday night as he continues to stew over the ongoing criminal investigation into his handling of classified materials. "Presidential Records Act was fully adhered to by me, but not by the FBI. They RAIDED my home (4th Amendment anyone?). Agent In Charge was just walked out of the FBI Headquarters Building for wrongdoing. He was also involved with the 2020 Election Hoax, the Crime of the Century!!!" he wrote in one rambling statement just after 8am after a long series of "retruths" of memes from his fans. Mr Trump's increasingly scattered response to the FBI search of his home comes as it has been reported that he has had difficulty in finding experienced lawyers to help him with his latest legal problems. |

Can Democrats hold onto their majority in the House? |
For much of the past year, many political observers have insisted the Democrats are likely to lose their majority in the House of Representatives, if not the Senate, during this November's midterm elections, largely because of president Joe Biden's lagging approval ratings and the high rate of inflation. But John Della Volpe, director of polling for Harvard's Kennedy School Institute of Politics, has always questioned that assertion. "If you look at the generic ballot, between then and today, it has not deviated more than four points," he tells The Independent. "I don't think Republicans ever had a lead of more than four points. Today, it's essentially even." Here's what else he has to say about this fall's vote, which might not be so disastrous for the Democrats as the conventional wisdom suggests. |
