Americans are voting in midterm elections that could reshape the balance of power in Congress and deliver a major political setback to President Donald Trump, two years before the end of his administration.

The elections, which will determine control of both chambers of Congress, come at a challenging moment for Trump’s Republican Party, as rising living costs emerge as a major concern for voters.

Food and fuel prices have surged amid the president’s aggressive tariff policies and the controversial war against Iran, adding to economic pressures facing households.

Trump, whose approval ratings have remained at record lows in recent months, has embarked on an intensive campaign, personally leading dozens of rallies across the country in support of Republican candidates.

Reports indicate that concerns over the rising cost of living are widespread, prompting the president to campaign in traditionally Republican strongholds, including Iowa and Kansas, during a final weekend blitz.

The outcome of the elections could determine the direction of Trump’s remaining two years in office, influence his policy agenda and shape the political landscape ahead of the 2028 presidential election.
