With less than a week until the November 3 US midterm elections, Democrats hold a nine-point lead in national polling, but crucial Senate races remain closely contested. President Donald Trump has returned to Texas for his third campaign visit in a month, as Democrats hope to secure a breakthrough in the traditionally Republican state. Key races in Georgia, North Carolina and other battleground states could determine which party controls Congress. From rising living costs and the impact of tariffs to immigration and voter turnout, affordability remains a central concern for Americans heading to the polls. With Republicans fighting to retain control and Democrats hoping to take both chambers, can voters deliver a political shift that reshapes the balance of power in Washington?
