Midterm elections in the United States, live: latest updates on Trump and polls in the U.S.

California's Governor Gavin Newsom announced that any interference in the electoral process will be treated as a felony, emphasizing new laws to prosecute offenders. Tensions between California and the White House have escalated, particularly after the DOJ's lawsuit regarding mail-in ballots. Meanwhile, President Trump will monitor the midterm elections from the White House, focusing on maintaining Republican control in Congress. Both parties are employing contrasting strategies, with Republicans invoking fear of Democrats and Democrats highlighting issues like the cost of living and Trump's corruption. Recent polls suggest Democrats may regain control of the House and possibly the Senate, making these elections highly significant.
