19:34Now PlayingJim Acosta says Donald Trump is expressing anxiety about the midterms by trying to undermine the election through “thievery,” including attacks on mail-in ballots, the post office, and other voting systems, while also using fear to suppress turnout and pushing voters to make a serious plan to vote in November. He argues Trump looks weak, is obsessed with the Supreme Court and Chief Justice John Roberts as a kind of “daddy” figure who enables him, and is focused on everything except affordability, even as tariffs, war, and other policies hurt states and voters. Acosta says Trump’s second term has been a “spectacular failure,” with harmful effects from DOGE, incompetent cabinet members, ICE abuses, detention centers, and other crises, and he warns that Trump may try court challenges after the votes are counted, making the midterms feel like a high-stakes fight for democracy.
