are in capitol hill. if the democrats lose control of both the house and senate, the ability to push agendas could be compromised. republicans have focused on the economy. they believe the unfounded claim donald trump on the 2020 election. this is raising fears among democrats that the future of democracy could be at stake. a washington bureau chief spoke to voters in arizona. >>eople in government do not care we are in debt. nobody seems to care. >> here in arizona latino voters so one.

-- the vote is so important. we have numbers but not the power. it is so important for every person to vote to vote today. >> do trust the outcome? >> we're going to have to. i do not like the outcome of the last one, but we have to move on and fix that stuff. >> they matter because i am a woman and lesbian. my rights are at stake. >> for more, we want to go to our correspondent. this is going to be a midterm election that belongs to republicans, right? reporter: that is what republicanare telling the rld. it is their job to expect wins.

will it be like this? i's hardo tell. they should have momentum. th is when the public is telling the actual government kind of job theyid. normally, the party in power, we will see that. will the republicans have it easy in the senate? it's difficult to say. five sea can turn the tide. that's expected to be the case. >> we fed a situation with democrats have controlled both

houses of congress and the white house. if that changes, what will that mean for the next two years? reporter: you have a partisan war in your hands. the democrats, or, the republican way going backwards. back to trump, not spending areas in money the democrats want to spend areas in. internationally speaking, aid

for ukraine. fighting in the democts spend freely now. as i said, ahite house mocrat with biden and republican congress, mr. biden will probably be a lame-duck. >> republicans have to work with the president because he still has veto power. let me ask you about results. two years ago on this night, we did not have the final outcome, we were talking about days later. what about this time around? >> expect the same if not longer. there is no way it will be

declared by the end of today or even tomorrow morning. take mail-in ballots. florida is canvassing those mail-in ballots days before. in critical states like pennsylvania and wisconsin, that's not possible. they are behind. secondly, that historic records of 2018 in terms of mail-in ballots and early voting have surpassed, 38 million people have cast the ballot earlier. it wiltake te, we just have to be patient. >> that is right, patience is a virtue.

thank you. the world is watching the u.s. midterms, where the outcome could impact foreign policy. there is a concern for american voters and some are questioning how much longer the u.s. should support the fight against russia. reporter: the war against ukraine is one the u.s. has not been able to look away fr. americans have sent $60 billion worth of assistance into the war zone. joe biden has promised to continue all it takes. the big question everyonis asking is what impact that will have for u.s. assistance to ukraine and other allies.

the answer depends under u.s.. >> there will be enough support the medical controls which house , given president biden is still in the white house. >> one prominent republican started sending a different signal. kevin mccarthy says he believes americans would no longer be willing to write a blank check to you -- ukraine in the face of a recession. the soaring prices of gas, food and housing tops the list of worries for ordinary americans. democrats fear a republican majority could make ukraine a domestic bargaining chip. more than two thirds of

americans back u.s. assistance eu rain. >> even if there is a republican majority, i think t experience of working together so closely and confidentially on sanctions might help defuse tensions over trade production in general or the larger question of how to deal with lignant chinese behaviors. >> i'm cautiously optimistic. >> warnings that china may try to invade taiwan could be the next test for the west and for america's willingness to a a price -- pay a price for global leadership. >> my next guest is with the atlantic council in washington, d.c..

she joins us from wisconsin. good to see you again. if republicans are able to win control of both houses of congress, will that change the u.s. approach to the war in ukraine? >> as your reporter was mentioning, kevin mccthy suggested americans do not have the stomach for another blank check but he has since walked back on statements, saying he s not suggesting republicans than to abandon you rain, saying he was calling for oversight of federadollars. it does not highlight how the potential new house speaker thinks about things, it offers a

preview of political battles happening in the republican party between the establishment and pro-trump wings. >> what about the transatlantic partnership joe biden spent the past two years trying to rebuild? what is it going to look like going forward? >> obviously, one of the main goals there is some feelings in e.u. circles on trade and

competition and that in some respects, the u.s. has continued to pursue an america first agenda, for examp legislation meant to curve inflation includes incentives for electric vehicles that do not extend, that is just one point. france has complained about unfair competition. the chips act puts europe in a tough spot. there is already some tension there. i would not expect it to be ramped up too much if republicans take over congress >> the results impact policy on climate change, china. how do you see midterms impacting u.s. engagement in the wider world? >> when it comes to china, not

expecting too much of a change. biden's policies pretty hawkish, i think republica would pus more aggressively for greater export controls and pregnt tory frameworks -- regulatory frameworks. on things like taiwan, there is broad bipartisan support. climate change is a different story. if a publicans take over congress, they will exert pressure to scale up nuclear and fossil fuel energy, pusfor more drilling permits. favorable -- i will say, congress does not have the power to pull the u.s. out of the

paris accords. that is secured through executive order. the messaging is interesting to. interesting to watch. >> we appreciate your time and analysis. thank you. let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. the swedish prime minister is traveling to turkey in a way to in -- win support for nato. both are applying to join the military alliance after russia invaded ukraine. they have blocked a sale of a microchip factory due to security concerns. a subsidiary of macron electronics is seeking to take over a company, intelligence

investments in nature based solutions to help farmers improve the quality of soil, food security as well as looking at how we support storage. there are investments in irrigation and renewable to move away from fossil fuels. >> experts are calling loss and damage. the idea that rich countries pay compensation for damage on poor

countries, more emphasis than greenhouse emissions. you think that is the right focus? >> we are trying to focus on everything. prevention is better than the cure. at this point, given what the panel said earlier, the impact we are seein is coming faster and at a higher frequency. there is no way for us not to look at the issue of loss and damage, the issue of irreversible impacts, we need to deal with this, addressing it at the same time that we are cutting admissions. now is the time. we cannot look away from what has happened in pakistan. the last four or even five years and lack of water.
