US Midterms: 'It is now going to be pretty chaotic for Donald Trump'
What happened
Donald Trump is not on the ballot in Tuesday's US midterm elections, but a heavy Republican defeat could weaken his hold on governing, according to Clarín.
Voters renew all 435 House seats, 35 of the 100 Senate seats and 36 governorships.
Polls put Democrats 7 to 12 points ahead nationally, though the outcome in individual states will decide control of the House and especially the Senate.
Trump's approval rating has dropped to 37%, the lowest recorded by Emerson College polls, amid voter worry over inflation and the cost of living.
If Republicans lost all of Congress, Trump would face stronger pressure from lawmakers, could no longer appoint allied judges and officials, and might come under investigation.
Experts consulted by Clarín in Washington said a Democratic majority could scrutinise US deals with Argentina, including a $20 billion financial package for the country.
