The mid-terms are more than practice laps for the presidency

   - but that is how too many commentators have reported the congressional elections over here. The BBC in particular have viewed the results only in relation to Donald Trump's prospects for the 2024 presidential election. They are fascinated by rogues and villains to the detriment of political enlightenment.

The justification for extensive UK coverage of the mid-term elections is to report the implication for the UK economy, which is linked to that of the US, and for Europe generally. For instance, what happens to US resistance to Russian empire-building if the Republicans achieve a blocking majority in Congress?
