Summary

Americans voted on Tuesday in midterm elections that will shape the final years of President Donald Trump's second term, with the results treated as a verdict on his presidency. Polls and nonpartisan analysts favoured Democrats to wrest the House from Republicans, while control of the Senate remained uncertain. RTÉ reported that Democrats had flipped a Republican-held Senate seat in North Carolina and were showing surprising strength in several Republican-leaning House districts in Florida, but that millions of votes were still uncounted.
