President Donald Trump has voiced uncertainty about the Republicans' ability to maintain control of the House of Representatives in the next year's midterm elections. This hesitation stems from the delayed impact of his economic policies, as reported by the Wall Street Journal on Saturday.

In a Friday interview, Trump admitted, "I can't tell you. I don't know when all of this money is going to kick in," when asked about the potential Republican loss in November. The White House, however, has remained unresponsive to Reuters' requests for comments.

Trump champions his economic initiatives as drivers of job growth, stock market boosts, and investor interest. Yet, affordability issues persist, with his approval ratings showing a mere 31% on economic handling. As Democrats gain traction in recent state elections, Trump plans to campaign for Republican candidates, pushing his economic vision.
