Early voting begins in US midterms that could see Republicans lose control of Congress

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from France 24 [en] · North America

In-person early voting for the US midterm elections begins Friday, six weeks ahead of the final November 3 vote, which will determine whether Republicans will maintain their majority in the US House and Senate. Some of the main issues American voters are deciding on are how to navigate the cost-of-living crisis, the war in Iran and President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement campaign.
