Record number of doctors on the ballot in US midterm elections

A wave of physicians and public health professionals is contesting Tuesday's US midterm elections, with the American College of Gastroenterology estimating that a record 25 doctors could win congressional seats. While many incumbents are Republicans, more Democratic health workers are running, including Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan's Senate race and paediatrician Annie Andrews in South Carolina, hoping to counter Trump-era health policies.
