(AP) – President Donald Trump is making a final elections argument by claiming that Democrats will take a “wrecking ball to our economy and to the future of our country.”
Trump made the second of his final three rally stops on Monday in front of a loud, packed crowd in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
He says, “A vote for Republicans is a vote to continue our extraordinary prosperity.” He says, “A vote for Democrats is a vote to bring this economic boom crashing down very rapidly.”
The president went on to declare that a Democratic victory would produce “a socialist nightmare.”
Trump was in Indiana to back Republican Senate candidate Representative Mike Braun, who is challenging Democratic incumbent Senator Joe Donnelly.
Heading into Tuesday’s midterm elections, Democrats are most optimistic about taking control of the House, needing to pick up two dozen seats to claim the majority.
Many top races are set in America’s suburbs, where more educated and affluent voters in both parties have soured on Donald Trump’s turbulent presidency.
However, after a 2016 presidential race that left pollsters and pundits stunned, neither side is taking anything for granted.
