American voters went to the polls today for the midterm elections, seen as a referendum on President Donald Trump's second term. At stake are all 435 seats in the House of Representatives, 35 of the 100 Senate seats, and 36 gubernatorial positions.
Polls indicate that the Democratic Party could regain the majority in the House, reflecting discontent with Trump and the Republicans. Some states may take days to count the votes, making the final outcome of Congressional control uncertain.
Midterm elections in the United States are held halfway through the presidential term, every four years. They serve to renew the entire House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate, along with many state government positions. Traditionally, they are a vote on the sitting president and their administration.
President Donald Trump is in his second term. Republicans currently control both chambers of Congress. The outcome of these elections will determine Trump's ability to advance his agenda in the final two years of his term. A Democratic victory in the House would hinder his policies, while control of the Senate remains uncertain.
