The US midterm elections are poised to determine control of Congress, significantly impacting Donald Trump's presidency and influencing key areas such as US-China relations, international trade, and the conflict with Iran. The Republican Party is striving to maintain its majorities in the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, while the Democratic Party aims to leverage dissatisfaction with Trump's leadership and economic conditions to gain control. Democratic control of either legislative chamber would empower the opposition to obstruct legislation and increase scrutiny of the administration, though Trump would retain substantial foreign policy authority.
