Explained simply
US midterm elections take place halfway through a president’s four-year term. Voters choose all members of the House of Representatives and some senators, as well as governors and other state and local officials.
The House and Senate make federal laws and oversee the government, while governors lead state governments. Election results can affect which party controls Congress and how easily the president can advance their agenda.
Politico is a US political news organisation. Its journalists report on campaigns, candidates and government, including in closely contested states where election outcomes can be uncertain.
