Americans head to the polls Tuesday in midterm elections that will decide control of Congress for the final two years of President Donald Trump's term, Reuters reported. The results will serve as the first nationwide verdict on his presidency.
Democrats need a net gain of at least four seats to take the Senate, where Republicans hold a 53-47 majority. Reuters said discontent over Trump, the Iran war and rising prices has put races in once-solidly Republican states into play, while Republicans seek to capture Democratic-held seats.
An AP analysis said Trump is asking voters to treat the election as if he were on the ballot, and that his decisions on tariffs and the Iran war are complicating things for Republicans. AP reported he has spent nearly $277 million to back candidates.
