Samarin: US Congressional Elections Will Be Very Difficult

Republicans will have a hard time maintaining their majority in the US Congressional elections amid the conflict in the Middle East. American political scientist Steve Samarin shared his opinion.

"We expect the elections to be very difficult, and we see that the format in which meetings with voters have always been conducted is now in deep crisis," he said. "Few people dare to simply go out to voters anymore, because what happened first in Venezuela, then in Iran and Lebanon, and many other events here (both domestic and foreign) are creating enormous tension within society."

The political scientist noted that the United States is experiencing very strong political turbulence, so elections during such a period of turbulence will be very difficult, and it cannot be guaranteed that episodes similar to what happened at the Washington Hilton (on the night of April 26, a shooting occurred at the hotel where a dinner with the US President was taking place - Ed.) will not be repeated.
