What do the midterms mean for Trump?

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The world has closely watched the US midterm elections this week.

With the Democrats regaining control of the House and Republicans holding onto the Senate, there are a lot of possibilities as to what happens next to Donald Trump, and the US as a nation.

Impeachment proceedings could begin against President Trump now Democrats have the House, and his tax returns could be requested and viewed.

On Friday 9 November I will be holding a Reddit AMA at 11am et (4pm GMT) to try and answer some of the questions you may have about this year’s midterms, the costliest in history and potentially among the most consequential for decades. Click here to see the AMA and submit your questions.

I’ve been writing about American politics, society and culture, on and off, for the best part of two decades. I don’t claim to possess a crystal ball, but I am looking forward to seeing not just people’s questions, but also their own thoughts and opinions about what comes next for the US at this fascinating juncture.
