Razia Iqbal, Justin Webb and Jamie Coomarasamy present the coverage of the US midterm elections. They bring results and analysis from across America as voters go to the polls to decide the future direction and shape of US politics. President Biden’s Democratic party are looking to hold on to the House of Representatives and the Senate against a Republican party which is looking to re-establish a foot in governing at a national level. We might also get a good understanding of the future political ambitions of Donald Trump.

Razia, Justin and Jamie speak to experts, politicians and voters across the country to find out what the impact of the economy, abortion, crime and the future of democracy itself will have on the results, and what it all means for America.
