US midterm elections: What's at stake for Trump's Republicans

The United States holds midterm elections on Tuesday, with control of Congress at stake. President Donald Trump's Republican Party risks losing its majority in both chambers. All 435 House seats and 33 of 100 Senate seats are being contested, alongside 36 governorships. Democrats are projected to potentially win the House and possibly the Senate, according to polling analyses, with outcomes hinging on several swing states. A Democratic House could launch investigations into the Trump administration and potentially initiate impeachment proceedings. A Democratic Senate could block judicial and cabinet appointments. Trump has increasingly relied on executive orders to bypass Congress, though these can be easily reversed by future presidents.
