  • Every two years Americans use the U.S. midterm elections as a report card for the president. History shows ballot results reflect the president's popularity and polling numbers. But why is the semi-annual democratic process necessary? Global News Washington Bureau Chief Jackson Proskow explains the procedure's checks and balances.

    It's really only one party - The capitalist corporate stooges party - and the rest of us that haven't had any transformative legislation pass since Social Security. This is all a game of good cop bad cop.

      Those forecasting a blue wave were wrong in 2016 and they are wrong now. Why would anyone vote for higher taxes and less jobs ?

      That is delusional as midterms favour the opposition party to the one controlling the White House.
      Alabama had a Dem senator in 2017, and strong GOP strongholds are becoming competitive.
      Say goodbye to the House, while Senate will probably stay as 51-49 or 50-50, with Repub control (which is good since Dems got a massive disadvantage).
