US midterm elections open Tuesday as Trump ends campaign
Americans vote Tuesday for Congress and 36 governors. Trump ended his campaign at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. A Reuters/Ipsos poll put his approval at 32 percent. Polls suggest Democrats may win the House and possibly the Senate.
Why it matters
The result will shape US policy at home and abroad for the final two years of Trump's term.
Background
Midterms are held halfway through a president's term. All House seats and about a third of the Senate are up. Cost of living is a main concern.
