American voters will deliver a verdict on the first two years of President Donald Trump's second term in Tuesday's midterm elections across the United States, with polls favoring Democrats to win the House. Control of the Senate remains uncertain as voters weigh sweeping tariffs and domestic cost pressures. The outcome will dictate the administration's ability to pass legislation and confirm nominees for the remainder of Trump's term.
