US midterm elections: These states will decide control of Congress

nos.nl (Dutch) —

Americans are voting in midterm congressional elections, with results expected overnight. The outcome will determine whether Republicans retain control of Congress, significantly impacting President Trump's power and agenda. All House of Representatives seats and 35 of 100 Senate seats are being contested. Republicans currently hold majorities in both chambers, but the Cook Political Report projects Democrats are on track to win the House. The Senate race is tighter, with six states considered highly competitive, including Iowa, Kansas, and Texas. Control of Congress will influence key issues like the federal budget, aid to Ukraine, and sanctions. The Economist gives Democrats a 53 percent chance of winning the Senate. Final results may take days, as Trump has already filed lawsuits challenging potential unfavorable outcomes.
