Polls begin closing in US midterms threatening to shatter Trump's grip on Washington

As US midterms concluded on November 3, Democrats aimed to gain control of the House and possibly the Senate, challenging Trump's influence. A House loss for Republicans could hinder Trump's legislative agenda and investigations into his administration. The elections reflect public discontent over rising living costs and the ongoing conflict in Iran. Democrats need minimal gains to shift power, while Trump defended his presidency amid low approval ratings. Concerns arose over potential disputes regarding election results, especially from Trump, who has previously claimed voter fraud without evidence. Voting issues were reported in New York, fueling further allegations.
