On November 3 the midterms take place in the USA. These are middle elections. The citizens vote for a new parliament. The parliament is named congress. It has 2 parts: the house of representatives and the senate.
Right now the republicans of Donald Trump have the majority. At the election all 435 seats in the house of representatives get new people. In the senate 35 from 100 seats get new votes. Polls show a close race. Many people already voted before the day of the election. This is named early voting.
It is very exciting in the federal state Michigan. There is trouble in the democratic party. The politician Haley Stevens helps the republican Mike Rogers suddenly. She fights with her party colleague Abdul El-Sayed. The reason for the fight is the policy against Israel. El-Sayed is a known critic of Israel.
President Donald Trump watches the elections closely. He needs a majority in the congress. Only then he brings his laws through. If he loses, he has less power. In some federal states like Alaska there was trouble about the ballots. A court decided against Trump there.
