AMILOADED MEDIA HUB NEWS UPDATE
People across the US are casting their votes in the midterm elections to determine who controls the US Congress.
For two years, both chambers – the House of Representatives and the Senate – have been controlled by Democrats, although the Republicans are predicted to take the House while Senate control is still uncertain and too close to call
For President Joe Biden, the outcome of these midterm polls will have a major impact on his remaining two years in office as losing either chamber would hinder his agenda, since having the Democrats control of the Senate has been helpful for him in passing laws.
All 435 seats in the US House of Representatives, about a third (35 of 100 seats) of the Senate and key state governorships are up for grabs.
Results would start coming in after polls close in the evening, US time.
However, Former president of the United States, Donald Trump, said he would be making a “very big announcement” next week, amid talks that he was expected to jump into the race for the White House in 2024.
Trump, who has never accepted the truth of his lost re-election bid in 2020, has hinted for months that he was ready to re-enter the fray.
Speaking to a cheering crowd in Ohio on Monday, the eve of US polls which will determine control of Congress, Trump said he would make the “big announcement” in Florida next Tuesday.
“Not to detract from tomorrow’s very important, even critical election… I’m going to be making a very big announcement on Tuesday, November 15 at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida,” he said.
The trail was the closest the Republican has got to confirming his intention to run, building on his message last week that he “will very, very, very probably do it again.”
