From New York Times: "You have to ask yourself: Do you want a Congress full of Trump puppets?"

2. Midterms Will Show Voters' Love or Hate of Trump

From Guardian: "Midterms are always a referendum on the incumbent president, and as the most polarizing president in modern US history, Trump will likely inspire higher turnout."

2. If You're Sure You Know What's Going to Happen on Tuesday, You're Wrong

From New York Times: "The rise of Trumpism has changed the shape of the electorate. We are working our way toward a new political dispensation."
