Midterm elections test Trump as Democrats seek Congress control

American voters are delivering a verdict on President Donald Trump's second term in Tuesday's midterm elections, with polls favoring Democrats to win the House while Senate control remains uncertain. Trump's approval rating is near all-time lows due to frustration over the Iran war and rising fuel prices. Democrats must flip at least three House seats and four Senate seats for majorities, with competitive races in Republican strongholds like Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina and Texas. A Democratic win could enable investigations into the administration and block Trump appointments, while Republicans have portrayed Democrats as radical. History favors Democrats, as the president's party has lost ground in all but two midterms since World War II. Trump has held over two dozen rallies since October, and his Justice Department has intervened in election matters, including lawsuits in Alaska and California.
