News from Al-Madinah: With his granddaughter Natalie, who is voting for the first time, US President Joe Biden casts his ballot early on Saturday in the US Congress midterm elections, which are set for November 8.
Opinion polls indicate that the Democrats may lose control of the congressions, as voters’ dissatisfaction with high inflation spoils the momentum that the Democrats hoped to obtain after a bitter battle with Republicans on abortion rights.
In the swing states, voter turnout, which is often substantially lower in midterm elections than in presidential elections, will be a deciding factor, therefore Democrats encourage voters to cast their ballots as early as possible.
For this election, Biden told his followers, “Democracy will be in the actual sense, not metaphorical, which means a voting card this year.” He also described the elections as “the most significant half-elections in our lifetimes.”
“Let’s be clear: these elections are not a referendum; rather, it is a decision between two very different visions of America.
Biden said it is a serious concern that Russia has suspended their deal with Ukraine to export grains.
According to the Information and Research Center associated with the University of Tafs, 8.3 million voters turned 18 since the 2020 elections, making them eligible to vote this year.
