My fear is that Trump’s base, seeing him besieged, comes out in force for the midterms and there is no change.
Keep in mind that Trump's base is about 10% smaller than the total number of Trump voters from 2016.
Yes, there is about a third of the US that will stick with Trump no matter what. But there is at least 10% of the country that is persuadable - the typical suburban family, college educated, many of whom are Republican in name only. The wives and mothers in those families are now leaning away from Trump because don't like infidelity and corruption.
A recent example was a special election in Columbus, Ohio, where registered Republicans outnumber registered Dems by 2-1, and where Trump won by double digits. The Republicans retained the seat for a few months (until November) with a win by just 1%! This does not bode well for the GOP in November, and especially in districts with similar demographics.
