Trump faces elections marked by inflation and deficit

US midterm elections are taking place on Tuesday, with Republicans and Democrats vying for control of Congress. The economy, particularly inflation, is a major concern for voters, with the cost of fuel increasing by 40% in a year, from $70 to $100 to fill a Ford truck's tank. The issue has overshadowed positive economic indicators, such as GDP and employment, and is expected to influence the election outcome.

The elections will determine the renewal of 435 House of Representatives seats, a third of the Senate, and 36 state governors.
