American voters heading to the polls in midterm elections

It’s a big day south of the border and it could have major implications for our country.

Voters in the U.S. are casting their ballots in midterm elections that will decide control of Congress for President Donald Trump’s final two years.

The Democrats need to win three seats to capture the House and four seats to win the Senate.

The Senate and the House of Representatives are the two chambers of the U.S. Congress, sharing equal power in passing laws, but differing significantly in size, representation, terms, and exclusive responsibilities.

USA Today Reporter Matthew Rink tells the Vista Radio Newsroom that the results could have a long-lasting impact on President Trump.

“If Democrats can regain the house and regain control of the United States Senate that’s going to be a major check on Donald Trump’s powers.”

The Justice Department says around 1,000 election monitors have been deployed in 126 jurisdictions in all 50 states.
