The US Midterms Unpacked In 39 Minutes
2 November 2026 39 minutes Available for over a year
The US midterm elections are set to take place on Tuesday, in a vote that could have a major impact on Donald Trump’s presidency. Americans will choose members of Congress, which is made up of two parts - the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Democrat Party has high expectations, but are the polls right?
To go through how the next 48 hours might unfold Adam Fleming is joined from Washington by Caitríona Perry, chief news presenter, and Stephen Hawkins, global director of research at the pollster More in Common.
