Early voting exceeds 53 million in the US and Trump sees the possibility of defeat. Two days before the midterm elections in the United States, more than 53.6 million voters have already cast ballots in advance, according to data from the University of Florida Elections Laboratory. The scope corresponds to 49.6% of the participation registered in 2022. Among voters with an identified party affiliation, Democrats maintain an 11.3 percentage point lead over Republicans. Texas, California and Florida account for much of the early voting. The November 3 election will renew the 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate. Forecasts by Fox News, a broadcaster aligned with Donald Trump, point to a possible loss of a Republican majority in both houses of Congress.
