US Midterm Elections Set to Influence Congress Control and Key Voter IssuesPreviousNext

The upcoming US midterm elections on November 3 will determine control of Congress, influencing President Trump's remaining term. Key issues shaping voter decisions include economic affordability, inflation impacts on groceries, fuel, and housing, and the ongoing Iran war's effect on energy prices. Democrats are favored to gain House seats, potentially limiting Trump's tariff policies, though ideological differences with India’s leadership persist. Campaign spending is expected to reach record levels, with outcomes affecting US domestic and foreign policy dynamics.
