The states that may decide Trump’s final two years

More than 52 million Americans have already cast ballots as the race for control of Congress enters its final days. While closely watched contests in states including Alaska, Michigan and Iowa remain in focus, many voters are effectively delivering a verdict on President Donald Trump's second-term record on the economy, immigration and foreign policy. We speak to Tyson Barker, Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council's Europe Center, about what the result could mean for Trump's final two years in office, and to Republican strategist Barrett Marson, about how Republicans see the state of the race.
