The United States Midterm Election Results are still unclear, with the states of Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia still counting votes. 

Whilst a major Republican win was expected, President Joe Biden’s Democratic Party surprisingly held their ground and overturned a seat in Pennsylvania.

The major parties are still neck and neck in the House, with a twenty seat lead to the GOP in the senate at time of broadcast. 

The results have been particularly negative for former president Donald Trump, who was planning to begin his 2024 presidential campaign before the underwhelming results came in and made him reportedly livid. 

To learn more, Liam spoke to UoA professor Maria Armoudian.
