What the US midterms mean for Trump's power and presidency

US voters are preparing for midterm elections where all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats are up for grabs, alongside gubernatorial races in 36 states. The current administration views these elections as a referendum on President Donald Trump’s performance, with outcomes directly impacting his legislative power in the final two years of his term. Historical trends suggest the incumbent Republican party faces challenges, as opposition parties typically gain seats during midterms. Democrats require a net gain of three House seats to reclaim the lower chamber, which would significantly obstruct the executive’s agenda. In the Senate, Democrats need to capture four additional seats to secure a majority, facing a steeper climb due to the Vice President’s tie-breaking role in a split legislature.
