United States: the November 3 midterm elections, an important test for Donald Trump
Published
On November 3, American voters will go to the polls for the midterm elections. This vote takes place two years after the presidential election and is important for the rest of Donald Trump's term.
The midterm elections renew the House of Representatives, where all 435 seats are at stake, as well as about one third of the seats in the Senate. These two chambers of Congress make the laws and oversee part of the government's action. If one of the two parties wins a majority in a chamber, it can have greater influence over the decisions of the executive branch.
The outcome of this vote may therefore have consequences for U.S. domestic and foreign policy during the last two years of the presidential term. It may also influence debates on the economy, immigration and major international issues. For Europe and France, these decisions matter, because Washington remains a partner and a major actor on the world stage.
The results will only be known after the ballots are counted, which can take several hours, or even several days in some states. The media will follow the election night coverage and the first projections while waiting for the official results.
