Polls have opened in dozens of US states in what is widely considered a referendum on Donald Trump. Most polls suggest Democrats will take back the House of Representatives, but could they also take the Senate and stymie Trump’s agenda during his final two years in office?

The events come as Haley Stevens opined on why she withdrew support for the US Senate Democratic nominee.

The issue runs through almost every twist and turn and has come to define the congresswoman’s political persona For Haley Stevens, the road from Democratic Senate candidate to campaigning alongside a Republican she once called a rubber stamp for Donald Trump has been remarkably short – and the issue running through almost every twist and turn has been Israel. Having failed to stop Abdul El-Sayed in the primary, Stevens chose to back Republican Mike Rogers on Sunday, a candidate who she previously warned would enable Trump’s agenda – apparently because the Democrat who won refuses to share her position on Israel.

Michigan’s Senate seat is a must-win for the Democratic Party as it seeks to take control of the upper house of Congress. There’s a surge of energy behind progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed, especially among younger voters. But can Gen Z's enthusiasm translate into votes and help Democrats win a critical Senate seat?

France 24’s Fraser Jackson takes a look at the state of play one day ahead of crucial midterm elections in the US as both Democrats and Republicans make their final bids for votes. Meanwhile, Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens has rocked the state’s Senate race by endorsing Republican Mike Rogers over Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Stevens lost the Michigan Democrats' Senate primary to El-Sayed in a bitterly contested race, leading some to accuse her of sour grapes.

All eyes are on a handful of Senate races that will decide control of the prized upper chamber. Here's a quick guide.

A prominent Michigan Democrat endorsed Republican Mike Rogers on Sunday, giving President Donald Trump's Republicans an unexpected boost in a critical US Senate race two days before midterm elections that will decide control of Congress.

Trump called Democratic candidate a ‘jihadist’ as El-Sayed’s defeated primary opponent backs Republican Mike Rogers. Plus an Australian fish worth its weight in gold Good morning. Congresswoman Haley Stevens, who lost the Michigan Democratic Senate primary to Abdul El-Sayed, has endorsed his Republican rival in an extraordinary rebuke of her party’s nominee on the eve of the midterm elections. Tensions between El-Sayed and Stevens had already led to him asking her to stay away from his campaign events , and her endorsement of Mike Rogers comes as the US president unleashed a racist tirade against El-Sayed in Iowa . What did Stevens do? Her endorsement came in a video posted to X after she attended an event with Rogers at the predominantly Black Perfecting church in Detroit on Sunday. Stevens’s endorsement was the culmination of an escalating feud between the former primary rivals – primarily over support for Israel – that has roiled one of the most fiercely contested Senate contests of the cycle. What did Trump say? The president bashed El-Sayed, a practicing Muslim, in brazenly racist terms, saying that Congress would have to “get a special metal detector for Abdul” if he were elected. “If you vote for this jihadist lunatic that wants to destroy you, you’re crazy. Mike Rodgers is apple pie. And you know what this country needs? A little apple pie. We don’t need the communists or jihadists, the Muslim Brotherhood. We need apple pie.” Continue reading...

As Michigan's Senate race exposes deep divisions, Al Jazeera speaks to four voters with opposing political views.

The latest move has roiled one of the most fiercely contested Senate contests Some of the people who worked for Stevens’s campaign also reportedly quit following her Rogers endorsement. Her long-time chief of staff, Justin German, and her communications director, Logan Basch, were among those who left, according to CNN correspondent Manu Raju. As Haley Stevens’ Chief of staff for eight years, I speak on behalf of our team in wholeheartedly supporting Abdul El-Sayed for Senate. This election is too important to sow division or stand on the sidelines. We are shocked and heartbroken by Congresswoman Stevens’ decision to support Mike Rogers. Senate Democrats are united in our support for Abdul El-Sayed, because we know he will fight for the economic interests of working families in Michigan, unlike Mike Rogers, who is a tool of Donald Trump and billionaire donors. We Democrats equally united in our total revulsion at the racist, Islamophobic, and over-the-top false attacks on Abdul by Republicans . These attacks are evidence of the total bankruptcy of the Republican Party today, who resort to ugly and un-American fearmongering because they have nothing to offer on the problems that concern people today. Haley Stevens’ decision to campaign with Rogers – a man who has repeatedly sold out Michigan’s working class, wants to pass a national abortion ban, and has pledged to be a loyal vote for Trump’s agenda – shows that she has abandoned everything she claims to care about. We reject the attempts by Stevens and bad-faith actors to divide our party and undermine our momentum, and will not allow these eleventh-hour distractions deter us. Continue reading...

In Texas, a Democrat hopes to achieve a feat not seen in the state for 38 years: winning a seat in the US Senate.

And his campaign is even winning over some of Donald Trump’s voters.

The move exposed divisions within the party as control of Congress hangs in the balance.
