President Donald Trump seeks to cement his legacy through a series of personal accomplishments and midterm campaign advertisements.

The administration announced a new campaign strategy to highlight the personal record of President Donald Trump ahead of the November midterm elections. Despite a national approval rating of 39.9%, the president is focusing on his own historical legacy and vanity projects, such as renaming Lake Ontario. To boost voter turnout, the administration urged supporters to "pretend I'm on the ballot" to ensure voters recognize the president's influence on the party's agenda. House Speaker Mike Johnson supported this approach, noting that while President Donald Trump is not a candidate this year, his priorities and principles remain the core of the Republican platform. The administration is currently using a $400 million war chest to fund television advertisements that showcase the president's wins. This strategy aims to contrast the administration's policies with those of the Democratic Party, which is currently facing internal divisions between establishment members and progressives. Republicans hope these ads will improve the president's approval ratings and help the party maintain its majority in both the House and Senate.
