El Periódico Mediterráneo - General3 September 2026 at 06:30

The United States has started the countdown to the first major test of President Donald Trump's second term. On November 3, 2026, the turbulent politics of the Republican tycoon will face the scrutiny of the ballot box in the midterm legislative elections. In these elections, control of the two chambers of the US Congress (the House of Representatives and the Senate) is at stake, and historically, this date tends to be difficult for the party that holds the White House.
