In-person early voting begins in the United States for the midterm elections, starting six weeks before Election Day on November 3. The vote will determine whether Republicans keep their majorities in both the House and the Senate, or whether Democrats gain control.
Both outlets describe the elections as focused on major national concerns facing voters. PBS and France 24 point to the cost-of-living crisis as a central issue, alongside the ongoing war in Iran. They also reference immigration enforcement, including President Donald Trump’s approach, as part of the broader political debate shaping voter decisions in this campaign period.
