United States midterm elections
U.S. voters are casting early ballots in the midterm elections that will determine control of the House and Senate, as candidates try to muster last-minute support.
Democrats are trying to cling to their majorities in Congress for the final two years of President Joe Biden’s first term. Republicans are favoured to win control of the House, while the race for Senate control appears tight.
The president had a busy weekend campaigning for Democrats in tight races in New York and Pennsylvania, where former President Barack Obama joined to help Senate candidate John Fetterman in his bid to best GOP opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz.
“This crowd is so loud, I think they can hear us in Latrobe,” Biden told a raucous crowd at Temple University.
On the other side, Donald Trump has heavily hinted that he may run for president again and he said he will make a “big announcement” on Nov. 15 at his Mar-a-Lago resort, where he is widely expected to announce the launch of his 2024 presidential campaign.
“If you support the decline for all of America, then you must absolutely vote for the radical left Democrats.
And if you want to stop the destruction of our country and save the American dream, then tomorrow you must vote Republican in a giant red wave that we’ve all been hearing about,” Trump said.
Voters have already cast more than 42 million ballots in the midterm elections.
