Sources say: Trump is going all in to prepare for the midterm elections, striving to avoid impeachment by the Democrats.

On November 25, although Trump will not appear on the ballot for next November's midterm elections, he is fully committed in a high-stakes manner because this election concerns his presidential term and political life. According to nine Republican strategists involved in the election, he is calling candidates, endorsing them early, strategizing, and pushing economic messaging, trying to keep Congress in Republican hands. “Presidents usually start taking action late in the campaign,” said Bill Galston, a former senior advisor in Bill Clinton's White House, “Such involvement at this time is extremely rare.” Six Republican insiders told Reuters that Trump wants candidates within the party to use his tax-cut plan as a campaign theme. This plan was passed by the Republican-controlled Congress in July. Their goal is to make voters understand that after filing taxes in April next year, they will receive more refunds from the IRS, thereby increasing their disposable income to offset the anxiety brought by rising prices. For Trump, maintaining Republican control of Congress next November is also a form of self-protection. Losing control of the House would also give Democrats the authority to impeach Trump for a third time. During his term from 2017 to 2021, House Democrats impeached Trump twice, but both times the Republican-controlled Senate did not vote to convict him. Nevertheless, the impeachment process would still drain the president's energy and could derail policy goals.
