These midterms could effectively end the Trump era - but neither side is yet ready for what comes next | Nesrine Malik - The Guardian

Midterm elections to determine US political direction

The midterm elections in the United States are expected to influence the political landscape, with both the Democratic and Republican parties struggling for control. The Democrats are predicted to secure seats, potentially leading to a blue wave, while Republicans are making a final push to win votes. The elections could signal the end of the Trump era, though neither party is entirely prepared for the consequences. The dollar has remained stable ahead of the midterms, and concerns about possible interference by Trump and measures to prevent it are also being discussed.

“The Democrats are predicted to secure seats, potentially leading to a blue wave, while Republicans are making a final push to win votes,” — Lena Ostrowski, senior market analyst at Oakstone Dale Financial, added during the briefing.
