``The most important midterm elections'' Trump makes final appeal in US capital

[Washington Current Affairs] On the 2nd, US President Trump made his final appeal in Washington, D.C., before the midterm elections (votes counted on the 3rd), emphasizing that ``this is the most important election of our lives.'' If the ruling Republican Party loses its majority in either the House or the Senate, it will inevitably be a blow to the administration. According to US media and other sources, the opposition Democratic Party has the upper hand in the House of Representatives, and the Senate is in a close race.

Trump makes a series of ``verbal promises'', anxious before midterm elections

"Your vote will decide whether extremists come to power or not," Trump said, referring to Democrats at the artificial pond in front of the Lincoln Memorial. He urged people to vote for the Republican Party. Nine ``telephone meetings'' were also held from the White House to states such as South Carolina in the south and Alaska in the north. Although both states are strongholds of the Republican Party, the final stages of the election remained in a difficult situation.

In this election, 35 seats including by-elections for the Senate (100 seats) and all seats in the House of Representatives (435 seats) will be contested. On the 2nd, the election analysis agency Cook Political Report evaluated the midwestern state of Michigan, which was included in the battleground states, as ``Democratic Party has a slight advantage,'' changing the number of battleground states from seven to six. The majority in the Senate is likely to be determined by wins and losses in the six battleground states.
