A Democratic Congress will not bring conventional gridlock. It will set the stage for a volatile struggle over presidential power.

Le Parti démocrate a repris le contrôle du Congrès américain aux élections de mi-mandat, infligeant un sérieux revers au président américain qui pourrait voir ses pouvoirs restreints pour la fin de son second mandat. Selon des résultats encore provisoires, les démocrates raflent au moins 225 des 435 sièges à la Chambre de représentants. Ils devraient même atteindre les 260 sièges à la fin des décomptes.

A historically unpopular Republican president, an American public unhappy with the rising costs of food and bills, and months of favourable polls point to a good night for them on Tuesday.

US President Donald Trump has offered every adult American $5,000 (£3,700) if Republicans win November's midterm elections, but it is unclear how such a plan would be funded and whether it is legal.

On January 6, as the two chambers of Congress convened to count Electoral College votes and officially certify Joe Biden as the president-elect of the United States, a violent mob stormed the US Capitol in support of President Donald Trump and his false allegation that the presidential contest was “stolen” through voter fraud.

To understand what’s going on at the Capitol today as the House considers impeaching President Donald Trump for a second time, it’s helpful to look at a bit of recent history.
