Americans are voting in midterm elections that will decide control of Congress and shape the final 2 years of Donald Trump's presidency. The elections come as Republicans face growing concerns over rising living costs, fuel prices and the ongoing war with Iran. Trump's approval rating has fallen to around 38%, while Democrats are hoping to gain seats in key Senate and House races. Republicans have increased campaign spending in traditionally safe states, including Kansas, amid concerns about a tighter contest. However, voter dissatisfaction with Trump does not automatically translate into support for Democrats, whose own approval remains low. (PC: BBC)
