Americans vote in midterms set to upend Trump presidency
Midterm elections serve as a national referendum on Donald Trump's presidency, with Democrats poised to gain control of the House and potentially the Senate.
Democratic control of Congress would empower them to obstruct Trump's legislative agenda, launch investigations, and challenge his judicial and senior official appointments.
Widespread voter discontent, fueled by soaring living costs and the war against Iran, has sharply turned the mood against Republicans and Trump's administration.
Concerns persist regarding the acceptance of election results, as Trump's past allegations of voter fraud and ongoing legal challenges raise doubts about post-election stability.
