Midterms: The most important things about the US congressional elections
On Tuesday, it will be decided whether the parliament in Washington will work with or against US President Trump in the future. How the midterms are going - and why they are so important.
The US midterm elections will take place on Tuesday, with Americans voting to fill 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of 100 seats in the Senate. The elections may impact President Donald Trump's ability to pass legislation, as his Republican party's narrow majority in both chambers is at risk. The Democrats are expected to potentially gain control of the House, but the Senate remains uncertain.
The outcome will also determine the balance of power in several states, including California, Arizona, and Michigan, where gubernatorial elections are taking place.
