About this episode
Today, Americans head to the polls in the country’s midterm elections.
At stake is control of the US House of Representatives and the Senate. Both are on a knife's edge, and major losses for the Democrats could make the next two years of Joe Biden’s presidency incredibly difficult and bring major reform to a standstill.
That is something Donald Trump will be hoping for, as reports circulate that he could announce his presidential campaign for 2024 within days.
Today, former Democratic Party adviser and a senior fellow at the US Studies Centre at the University of Sydney, Bruce Wolpe on the US midterms and what they mean for the future of American politics.
