The US midterm elections could reshape Donald Trump's political future and determine how much power he retains during the final two years of his presidency. In this episode of TheBrief, we explain how the American electoral system works, why control of the House of Representatives and Senate matters, and what a potential Democratic victory could mean for Trump's agenda. From congressional oversight and impeachment powers to tariffs, immigration, foreign policy and the war with Iran, we break down the key issues shaping the elections. We also examine Indian-American candidates in the race and explore how the results could impact India-US relations, trade, Russian oil and H-1B visas.
