Listen: What’s at stake for Europe in the US midterms?

Americans are voting in midterm elections, with all House seats and a third of the Senate contested. Polls indicate potential Democratic gains, which could lead to significant changes in U.S. policy affecting Europe. If Democrats win, they might investigate the administration and maintain support for Ukraine, but face challenges due to presidential vetoes. A two-thirds majority needed to override vetoes seems unlikely, yet Democrats could still block legislation and influence budget decisions. Overall, while they may not fully reverse Trump’s policies, they could complicate his governance.
