Fox News anchor John Roberts questions Sen. Tim Scott about whether Donald Trump’s lagging Republican support and rising cost-of-living concerns could drag the GOP in the midterms.

Scott frames Trump’s midterm influence as tied to his agenda and legacy, urging voters to defend what he calls America’s fairness and freedom while contrasting with Democratic policy aims.

The discussion centers on how cost-of-living concerns, presidential approval, and broader political messaging are shaping the midterm landscape.

Scott argues Democrats are responsible for policies affecting rural hospitals funding and taxes on seniors, Social Security, overtime, and tipped workers, while Republicans touted tax relief that added about $300 per month for some Americans.

Roberts concludes by inviting viewers to watch the interview clip on Fox News.

Roberts notes Trump’s historically low approval among Republicans, with about 76% support versus 92% earlier, framing potential headwinds for the GOP.
