In the United States, elections for the entire House of Representatives, a third of the Senate and 36 governorships began on November 3. The outcome could significantly affect President Donald Trump's ability to push through his policy during his second term. Index.hu ↗

The Democratic Party is trying to regain control of Congress after two years of Republican dominance. A majority in the House of Representatives would allow it to more effectively block Trump's proposals and launch extensive investigations into the actions of his administration. The battle for the Senate remains, according to pre-election estimates, open until the very last moment. SITA ↗

In the final stretch of the campaign, Trump personally became more significantly involved in supporting Republican candidates. The party promised voters a continuation of tax cuts and further strengthening of border protection. The president cast his vote ten days in advance together with his wife in Florida. Index.hu ↗

Former President Barack Obama also joined the Democrats' campaign in Georgia, where he sharply criticized Trump. At the same time, Trump mobilized his supporters in Ohio. Thus, in the final phase of the campaign, both politicians supported opposing political camps.

Voter interest is high. Before polling stations opened, more than 57 million Americans had already voted early. The results will decide the balance of power in Congress, the future direction of Trump's policy, and the extent of Democratic oversight over his administration.
