US President Donald Trump has privately acknowledged that Republicans could be heading towards a worst-case scenario in the midterm elections, even as he has occasionally expressed optimism that his party could outperform pre-election polls, according to sources close to the President quoted by CNN.
\n\nVoting is underway across the United States in elections that will determine whether Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress or Democrats gain power to challenge Trump's agenda during the final two years of his presidency.
\n\nTrump has made himself the centre of the Republican campaign, holding rallies across several states and urging voters to back his party's candidates. However, his administration is facing mounting concerns over the economy, the cost of living and the political fallout from the Iran war.
