Trump's Day of Destiny... Midterm Elections Voting Begins Today

[Anchor]

Voting for the midterm elections in the United States, which is similar to our general elections, begins this evening, our time (the 3rd). All 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 Senate members will be newly elected, and the general outline of the winners and losers is expected to emerge by tomorrow afternoon.

The day before the U.S. midterm elections, U.S. President Donald Trump stood at a podium in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

President Trump highlighted the economic and border policy achievements of the current administration and appealed for votes for Republican candidates.

[Donald / U.S. President: Remember when you vote. We cannot let a party that hates America rule over the people who built our country.]

Staying in Washington today, President Trump is not taking flights, but is instead conducting about 10 telephone campaign events in a row throughout the day to support candidates in battleground areas.

Following his direct tours of key battleground sites in the Midwest over the weekend, his strategy just before the election is to launch a so-called all-out remote campaign connecting directly with voters nationwide from Washington.

The Democratic Party has also launched an all-out campaign to retake the House and Senate.

The Democratic leadership repeatedly encouraged the participation of moderate and young voters, stating that this election is an opportunity to check executive power and restore a balance of democracy.

With tens of millions of voters having already cast their ballots through mail-in and in-person early voting, whether congressional power will be reshaped is expected to depend on voter turnout in ultra-tight House and Senate battlegrounds such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia.
