Could the US midterms deliver a major blow to Trump?
US voters head to the polls this week for high-stakes midterm elections that could hand Democrats control of Congress and deliver a major blow to Donald Trump's administration. Polling suggests a significant swing toward the Democrats, driven by deep unpopularity over the Iran war, cost of living pressures, tariffs, and a sharp backlash among Latino voters over immigration enforcement. There are also serious questions about how the administration might respond to unfavourable results, with moves to challenge voter rolls, potential deployment of federal agents at polling stations, and early legal skirmishes already underway.
