It was meant to be a reckoning for the Democrats but the US midterm elections have been anything but. While the Democrats look likely to lose the House, it wasn't a result that was unexpected. However, what was unexpected was the disappointing performance of Donald J Trump-backed candidates in certain seats. James Law and new Flash presenter Lucy McLeod break down the results of the US midterms and what it may mean for Trump's re-election bid in 2024.
