After months of campaigning and billions of dollars spent, it’s the day we’ve been waiting for. America has gone to the polls in midterm elections that could reshape President Trump’s final two years in the White House.

In a last ditch attempt to claw back voters President Trump dropped a bombshell today - that America will stop its four billion dollars of aid to Israel, by the end of the year.
But is it too little too late? The polls suggest it could be. Democrats are hoping to capitalise on the cost-of-living crisis, soaring gas prices, the war with Iran and unpopular immigration politics to take control of the House from Republicans - and potentially make gains in the Senate too.
So can the polls be trusted? Will key battlegrounds like Texas and Michigan hold the clues for the future direction of both parties - and could Alaska have the final say?
In this episode of TrumpWorld Matt Frei and Anushka Asthana are joined by Nathaniel Rakich - managing editor of non-partisan VoteBeat - a nonprofit news organisation reporting on voting access.
They discuss why we can’t fully trust exit polls, why Democrats shouldn't feel like a win is a done deal and how many are already looking towards the next presidential race in 2028.
