BBC analysis indicates that the US midterm elections will be held on November 3, electing all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and approximately one-third of the seats in the Senate. Currently, the Republican Party controls the House with a slim majority of 218 seats, while leading in the Senate with 53 seats. The analysis suggests that President Donald Trump's current approval rating is around 37%, significantly lower than 43% at the same point in his first term, which provides an opportunity for the Democratic Party to regain control of Congress. In terms of campaign funding, the Republican Party and its allies possess over $600 million in cash, while the Democratic Party has slightly less than $400 million. Additionally, Donald Trump's MAGA Inc organization holds over $400 million. Key issues for voters include the cost of living crisis, healthcare, and immigration. The BBC also noted that Donald Trump's previous airstrikes on Iran led to a surge in gasoline prices, exacerbating cost of living pressures.
