The 2016 US presidential elections produced shockwaves across the globe as Republican nominee Donald Trump becomes the country's 45th president.
The Trump Equation | Inside America with Ghida Fakhry
Republican Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell is predicting that his party will have “very good” results in next year’s midterm elections and could possibly win both the House and Senate.
The Republican confidence about the midterms was reflected in a recent survey released earlier this month which showed Republicans leading Democrats by 10 points —51% to 41%— in the 2022 generic congressional ballot. That is the largest margin in the 40-year history of the survey.
Other recent polls show that more Americans want to see the Republican Party take control of the House and Senate next year. And while a majority of registered American voters —71 percent— say the U.S. is "off on the wrong track"; only 22 percent believe the country is headed in the right direction.
But one central —and sensitive— issue that confronts and divides Republicans is Donald Trump.
The former president who has recently signaled a possible presidential run in 2024, has been holding rallies and raising large sums of money. He remains a strong voice, and at the core of the Grand Old Party’s internal politics.
His favorability rating among Republican voters stands at 86%. Just 10% hold an unfavorable view of the former President [poll]. A survey conducted just last month found that 47% of Republican voters would vote for Trump; no other candidate was above 13%. The same poll found that 67% of Republican registered voters want Trump to run again.
So given Trump’s continuing popularity with the base of the party, what should the strategy of the wider Republican Party be?

Polls in Georgia show Biden, Trump neck and neck
The US state of Georgia has been a Republican strong-hold for years. But Democrat Joe Biden's 2020 bid for the White House has made the state competitive for the first time in nearly 30 years. While the city of Atlanta looks to be voting for Biden, the suburbs and small towns outside the capital of the south are just too close to call.

The Facebook Dilemma | Inside America with Ghida Fakhry
In an unusual move, #Facebook and #Twitter censored a #NewYorkPost story about alleged emails from the Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s son that suggested he gave a Ukrainian executive the opportunity to meet with Biden.
The alleged emails were said to be obtained by Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal attorney and his former top advisor, Steve Bannon. The Biden campaign said no such meeting took place. Facebook decided to limited access to the story in order to have it fact-checked by a third party and Twitter marked the story as “potentially unsafe”, temporarily locking the accounts of the Trump campaign and the White House press secretary in what the company said was a violation of its rules on publishing hacked materials.
The move triggered an immediate backlash from Republicans and Conservatives, who accuse the social media giants of engaging in censorship and election interference. While Republicans on Capitol Hill accuse Facebook and Twitter of political bias, Democrats criticize them for not being aggressive enough in cracking down on harmful posts, including election misinformation.
The companies whose CEOs will testify before Congress at the end of October rejected accusations of bias, saying they do not enforce their policies on the basis of political ideology.

Is Joe Biden fit to be president?
More than 30 years after he first ran for president, things are looking up for Joe Biden, a CNN poll last week put him 14 points ahead of Donald Trump - with just 5 months to go till the election in November. The Trump campaign called the poll totally biased but if you do believe their survey, this election is Biden’s to lose.... And that’s not out of the question. He’s by far the more popular candidate amongst black Americans but scored a massive own goal last month by saying; if you don't vote for me 'you ain't black' That upset a lot of people as did his reluctance to apologise for his tendency to touch women and girls in a way that some find unsettling. And then there’s his age, at 77 he doesn’t like to be challenged about his mental and physical abilities - but is it a legitimate question? And speaking of running, who’ll be his running mate? He’s pledged it will be a woman but which one?
