Democrats need to flip four Republican-held Senate seats without losing any of their own; Barrasso says a Senate majority could help confirm Trump’s nominees and keep impeachment trials from being dragged out
Polls have opened across 27 US states in midterm elections that will decide control of Congress, with President Donald Trump marking election morning by telling Fox News that US military aid to Israel will stop by the end of 2026. Thirty-five Senate seats are up, and Democrats must flip at least four Republican-held seats without losing any of their own to take the Senate majority.
