Us Mid-term Polls

The US midterms made waves Wednesday at a UN climate summit on the shores of Egypt, with activists urging President Joe Biden to take bolder action against global warming regardless of the result.

Republicans were counting on resounding wins in the House and Senate because of voters listing stubborn inflation and a looming recession at the top of their concerns.

US President Joe Biden will stick to his efforts to develop a greener economy even if Republicans win the midterm elections on Tuesday, his climate envoy John Kerry said at COP27.

President Joe Biden made a final appeal on the eve of Tuesday's midterms for Democrats to protect democracy by defeating Donald Trump's Republicans in an election that polls show could upend power in Washington.

If polls were correct Hillary Clinton would be President and Donald Trump would have remained a builder. But almost all of them were completely wrong. So Donald Trump is President and Hillary Clinton is still dreaming of being President.

US law enforcement and intelligence agencies said ahead of crucial US midterm voting they had no indication of efforts to disrupt election infrastructure but that Americans should be wary of Russian attempts to spread fake news.

Facebook Inc on Wednesday said it would team with two U.S. non-profits to slow the global spread of misinformation that could influence elections, acknowledging that fake news sites were still read by millions.

Amid the growing debate over whether electronic voting machines (EVMs) are hackable or not, elections officials in the US are worried over the increasing "information warfare" as mid-term polls loom.

Facebook said it uncovered links between the accounts it just deleted and those created by Russia's Internet Research Agency in the 2016 influence effort.

Hours before the crucial US mid-term polls, Congressman Ami Bera's re-election campaign got a shot in the arm with First Lady Michelle Obama appealing to voters in a California seat, where the Indian-American is locked in a tight contest, to vote for him.

There's much that's being said about US President Barack Obama's visit to India post the US mid-term elections - many believe the focus may shift. However, the Republican sweep may have improved the prospect of Indo-US relations in the next two years, as influential Republican lawmakers and well-known friends of India will now head key Congressiona...

Less than two years after Barack Obama strode into the White House on a promise of change, the Republicans have wrested control of the House of Representatives from his Democrats on Tuesday, riding a wave of voter discontent.
