Americans vote in midterms seen as referendum on Trump

Americans voted on 3 November in midterm elections for all 435 House seats, 35 Senate seats and 36 governors' positions.

Americans voted on 3 November in midterm elections for all 435 House seats, 35 Senate seats and 36 governorships. Democrats were seeking to take control of both chambers of Congress from President Donald Trump's Republican Party. Democrats needed to gain four Senate seats for a 51-seat majority and win at least 218 House seats to take control. More than 57 million Americans had already cast early ballots. Polls closed between 6 p.m. and 1 a.m. Eastern Time across the country on election night. Democrats campaigned on addressing the cost-of-living crisis and ending Trump's war with Iran, whilst Republicans promoted the president's immigration policies and tax cuts. Polls suggested Democrats had the upper hand, though forecasters identified several possible outcomes ranging from a significant Democratic wave to Republican resilience.
