US midterms: Voters decide Trump's second term in key races

Voters head to the polls Tuesday in midterm elections serving as a referendum on President Donald Trump's second term, with Democrats poised to potentially win control of Congress amid voter anger over high prices and the Iran war. Democrats need a net gain of four Senate seats and three House seats to take majorities, with key races in North Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, and Texas. Republicans have spent heavily in Trump-won districts but face historical headwinds, as only 35% of adults approve of Trump's performance. The results will shape the final two years of Trump's term, with Democratic control enabling investigations and possible impeachments. Over 57 million early votes have been cast, and 36 states are also electing governors in what is expected to be the most expensive midterm election in history.
