Institute of Public Affairs Chief Economist Adam Creighton says if the Republicans lose the Senate, it will create “two years of chaos” in the US.

“It’s looking increasingly likely that the Republicans will lose the Senate too, although it's roughly 50/50,” Mr Creighton told News24 Digital Presenter Gabriella Power.

“That’s a real problem for Republicans. If they don’t control the Senate, then you’ve basically got two years of chaos in the United States.”
