Biden presidency faces difficult midterm elections

In the United States – the midterm elections are due to take place on the 8th of November, with President Joe Biden facing the prospect of his Democratic party losing power in one or both chambers of Congress. While Democrats are staking the vote on protecting democracy and abortion rights, the economy has emerged as the top priority for most Americans -- with inflation at a 40-year high and motorists feeling the pressure of high petrol prices.
