Americans vote in midterm elections on Trump's agenda
American voters are choosing a new Congress on 3 November, with control of both chambers potentially changing hands.
Americans voted on 3 November in midterm elections that will determine control of Congress for the remainder of President Donald Trump's second term. All 435 House of Representatives seats and 35 of the Senate's 100 seats were up for election, along with 36 governorships and various ballot measures. More than 57 million people cast early ballots. Trump's approval rating stood at record lows, and voter dissatisfaction centred on his administration's unpopular Iran war, rising prices, an immigration crackdown and a trade war. Democrats needed to gain four Senate seats for a 51-seat majority and 218 House seats for control of that chamber. Multiple outlets described the election as a referendum on Trump and his party's direction, with some prediction markets pricing in a three-in-four chance of Democrats winning the Senate.
