US Midterm Elections 2018: Will the House Flip?

On Tuesday, 6 November, US voters go to the polls in the midterm elections to elect new members of Congress.

Seldom have America's midterm elections been watched so closely across the globe. The reasons are clear enough: The vote isn't just a referendum on President Donald Trump's first two years in office but also on the populist brand of politics he represents.

Morning Run Presenter and Producer Melisa Idris, who is with the Foreign Press Center’s ‘International Reporting Tour of the US Midterm Elections’ reports from Clerk County in Nevada on the state of play.

Presented by: Tan Chung Han, Joyce Goh
