Midterm elections could jolt stocks as Democrats look poised to sweep Congress

What the coverage shows

Across the coverage, the midterms are framed as a referendum on Trump’s remaining term, with several outlets emphasizing what the results could mean for control of Congress and his agenda. CNBC says polls and oddsmakers favor Democrats, while Fox News stresses that Republicans are defending slim majorities and highlights record early voting; the Los Angeles Times is more specific in casting one Arizona race as a proxy fight over Trump. The Guardian US alone raises the prospect of a renewed war on Iran, France 24 focuses on possible Trump interference in election administration, and The Independent points back to Trump’s 2018 midterm experience.
