US Midterm Elections Set to Test Trump's Congressional Control

laopiniondezamora.es (Spanish) —

Americans vote Tuesday in midterm elections that will determine control of both congressional chambers, acting as a referendum on Donald Trump, with polls suggesting he may lose. The elections decide whether Democrats gain power to oversee and punish Trump for two years, or extend the Republican's "imperial presidency." Voters also choose hundreds of lawmakers, state officials, and judges. Trump has framed the vote as a test of his leadership, though surveys indicate potential losses for his party. Media outlets have called these elections pivotal for the nation's democracy and global implications.
