Episode description

The predicted Republican red wave in the US midterm elections hasn't materialised. Elections for the Senate and House of Representatives presented an opportunity to install supporters of Donald Trump, and make politics difficult for President Joe Biden.

On the Sky News Daily, in the early hours of Wednesday morning, Niall Patterson is joined by our international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn and political correspondent Joe Pike to debrief on what the results mean for the Democrats, the country, and looking ahead to the presidential election in 2024.

Also, Brittany Gibson, political reporter for Politico, tells us about how close the race was in Georgia, and what it says about divisions in America.
