US midterms 2026 latest: Houston, we have a problem!

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.

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?
