[0:04] A critical midterm election just days
[0:07] away. Are we ready to do what we need to
[0:10] do in November?
[0:11] >> Americans are casting their ballots.
[0:13] With everything on the line, the battle
[0:15] for Congress, will Republicans still
[0:18] control the balance of power?
[0:20] >> Americans. You, my friends, that's who
[0:22] we fight for.
[0:23] >> Tonight, CBS News presents Things That
[0:26] Matter with Vice President J. D. fans.
[0:29] >> We're doing everything that we can to
[0:31] bring down prices.

[1:24] and Republican Mike Rogers is a tossup.
[1:27] It's also a tough year for Republicans
[1:29] overall. The president's approval rating
[1:31] has plummeted 14 points since the start
[1:33] of his term. And the same voters who
[1:35] sent the Trump administration back to
[1:37] the White House in 2024 are now deciding
[1:40] whether this election they want to
[1:42] instead send Trump a message. Tonight,
[1:45] voters will get an opportunity to ask
[1:47] their
