US counts down the hours to the high-stakes midterm vote

In international news, Americans are heading to the polls Tuesday in high-stakes midterm elections that will decide the balance of power in Washington for the rest of President Donald Trump’s term. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives and a third of the Senate are up for grabs. Currently, Republicans hold narrow majorities in both chambers. A Democratic win in either house would bring legislative gridlock, hand the opposition strong oversight powers, and potentially block judicial appointments. Voter turnout is heavily driven by economic concerns, including the cost of living and inflation, as well as foreign policy debates. London-based journalist James Gooderson reports.
