Follow our live coverage of the US midterm elections, where several critical races could have major consequences for Donald Trump’s presidency.

Americans put the president and his Republicans in power – twice – for a reason. If voters deliver a harsh verdict today, it is because they didn’t get what they were promised.

The Democrats are odds-on favourites to win control of both chambers of US Congress, but painful defeats to Trump in the past come with a warning.

Americans head to the polls soon in elections that could have big ramifications for the second half of Trump’s presidency. Here’s what happened on our first day of live coverage.

The blood sport of American politics has a new player on the bench – AI – and the game is getting dirtier and dirtier.

Iranian state television said explosions were heard on Qeshm Island, as US officials confirmed the regime’s surface-to-air missile batteries had been targeted in limited strikes.

Fuel costs up and revenues down. In my state, where Republicans haven’t lost a Senate race this century, Donald Trump is fighting to stay alive.

“We have a lot of great things planned for Washington – and I could get into the nation, but for that, you don’t have enough time,” the president said on the day before Americans vote.

Some media observers attribute the decline to US President Donald Trump’s slipping approval ratings, but Fox chief Lachlan Murdoch says there is a simpler explanation.

The US, for all the ugliness, does have the option of the bloodless removal of a bad government. On the proviso, of course, that Trump allows the system to work as designed.

Donald Trump is famous for the rambling speaking style he calls “the weave”. Lately, it seems to be getting weavier.
