US midterms under threat

Election officials in the US are getting ready for security concerns at polling booths. Concerns arise over Trump's potential involvement in the midterm elections. The midterm campaign is entering its final weekend, with key states like Alaska and California experiencing intense ballot fights. The ongoing Iran war also overshadows the elections, with Iranian envoys meeting Qatari mediators amid fears of US retaliation. The US is voting in high stakes midterms, which could have a major effect on the results and New Zealand.
