There are just days to go until the US midterm elections, when voters take part in a ballot that could have a major impact on the rest of Donald Trump's presidency.

On 3 November, Americans will choose members of Congress, which is made up of two parts - the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Elections take place every two years, and when they happen in the middle of the president's four-year term of office, they are called the midterms.
