Ask what Korea is talking about.

Americans voted Tuesday in the 2026 midterm elections, which will serve as a referendum on President Donald Trump's second term, with surveys and nonpartisan analysts favoring Democrats to win at least partial control of Congress, according to the Korea Times and KBS World. Voters are struggling with high prices and are angry over an unpopular war with Iran, and state officials are braced for possible intervention by Trump's administration in the voting process, the Korea Times reports. Democrats held final get-out-the-vote rallies Monday expecting to impose political constraints on Trump, while the president faces the prospect of a voter rebellion that could begin the end of his era, the Korea Times adds. Korean outlets frame the election as the most critical midterm in a lifetime, with one Korea Times columnist calling it a judgment on Trump and the MAGA movement.
