Explained simply
Midterm elections take place halfway through a US president’s four-year term. Voters choose members of Congress, as well as officials in many state and local races, and the results can affect which party has power to pass laws.
Minnesota is a state in the north of the US, bordering North Dakota. Josh Duhamel is an American actor who has a home there and has spoken about spending time with his family at a cabin in the state.
People can urge others to vote without backing a particular candidate. Comments on Duhamel’s appeal linked it to both Republican and Democratic campaigns, showing how messages about voting can be read differently during an election.
