Donald Trump Faces Nationwide Verdict From US Voters in Midterm Elections
Democrats need four Senate seats and three House seats to win majorities as turnout rises in the most expensive U.S. congressional races.
- On Tuesday, millions of voters headed to the polls for midterm elections determining control of Congress and shaping the final two years of Donald Trump's presidency.
- Trump held rallies in Republican strongholds to boost turnout, promising every adult citizen $5,000 if his party kept control of both the House and Senate.
- Challengers benefit from voter discontent over high energy prices fuelled by the Iran war Trump launched with Israel; Democrats need a net gain of four seats in the 100-member Senate to win majority control.
- Georgia senator Jon Ossoff secured early re-election, while in California, Republican candidate Steve Hilton, a former aide to David Cameron, contested the governorship.
- Trump said Tuesday, "I think the results are going to be better than you think," yet given his history of fraud claims, he may dispute unfavorable outcomes; he retains executive authority regardless of legislative control.
