Midterm Elections Coming to a Close as Voters Pass Judgment on Trump’s Second Term
Control of Congress is at stake as Democrats could block legislation and launch investigations into Mr Trump’s White House.
- On Tuesday, millions of Americans are casting ballots in congressional elections widely viewed as a referendum on President Donald Trump's record, determining control of Congress for the remainder of his term.
- Republicans currently control both chambers, with all 435 House seats and 35 of the 100 Senate seats up for grabs; Trump campaigned in strongholds promising every adult $5,000 if his party retains control.
- Facing internal divisions, Democrats have criticized Trump over rising prices and the conflict with Iran, while Former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have criss-crossed the country to counter his influence.
- If Democrats gain one or both chambers, they could block legislation and launch investigations into the conduct of the White House, influencing party strategies for the 2028 presidential race.
- Analysts suggest Democrats are favored to win a majority in the House, while the race for the Senate remains tight, as voters determine if these results will tip the balance of power in Washington.
