US Midterm Elections: Battle for Congress Control

Americans head to the polls today in the midterm elections, which will determine the composition of the House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate seats.

The United States is holding its midterm elections today, a political event with significant implications for the remainder of President Donald Trump's term. According to reports by ynet and Kan 11, all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 seats in the Senate are up for election.

Meanwhile, global financial markets are showing signs of high tension ahead of the results. As reported by Globes and the Reuters news agency, stock markets in Asia have seen mixed trends and declines, amid uncertainty regarding future economic policy and energy price volatility.
