US midterm elections set to define final years of Trump presidency

theguardian.com —

Americans are voting in US midterm elections viewed as a referendum on Donald Trump's second presidency, with Democrats seeking to seize congressional control and curb his power. The party holding the White House typically loses seats in midterms, and Democrats hope to exploit Trump's declining popularity. The Justice Department charged six more people with voter fraud in California, but the Supreme Court blocked attempts to segregate ballots from alleged non-citizens. Guardian reporters are covering key races in New Hampshire, Texas, California, and Michigan. The election will determine control of Congress and shape the final years of Trump's presidency.
