The midterm elections will shape Trump's ability to advance his agenda, and America's relationship with the rest of the world.
Pixabay The midterm election will determine the balance of power in Congress for the remaining two years of Donald Trump’s presidency.
Rising living costs, immigration, healthcare, polarization and data centers are some issues shaping the debate. But what matters most to American voters? And how will public attitudes towards the Trump administration influence the elections?
Just few days before election day, we take a closer look at what is at stake. The results will shape the direction of US domestic and foreign policy, influence Trump’s ability to advance his agenda, and affect America’s relationship with the rest of the world.
