US voters are set to deliver their verdict on Trump 2.0

Millions of Americans cast their ballots in the midterm elections, with control of Congress hanging in the balance. US voters were set to deliver their verdict on Donald Trump’s second presidency in Tuesday’s midterm elections, with control of Congress hanging in the balance. Millions cast their ballots with relatively minor disruptions, as early turnout surpassed that of recent midterms. Early-closing races in bellwether districts of Indiana, Kentucky, and Virginia will signal whether a blue wave will materialize. But vote counting in Maine and Alaska could take days, delaying a determination of which party will prevail. In any event, readers should only pay attention to the news once polls start closing at 6 pm EST, Semafor’s editor-in-chief wrote: “There’s no other day where the volume of nonsense so outweighs the quantity of new information.”
