Polls open in US midterm elections that will shape rest of Trump's presidency
Polls have opened across the United States in midterm elections that will decide control of Congress, with President Donald Trump's Republicans defending their hold on both chambers.
Polls have opened across the United States in midterm elections that will decide control of Congress for the rest of President Donald Trump's term.
President Trump's Republicans currently hold both chambers of Congress, but that could change after today's voting, with every seat in the House of Representatives and more than a third of Senate seats on the ballot.
All four hundred thirty-five House seats are up for election, along with thirty-five of the Senate's one hundred seats, and voters will shape the direction of the president's remaining time in office.
The first results are expected tonight as polls begin to close, though close races could take days to call as officials process ballots and news organisations analyse the counts.
The election is widely seen as a test of the president's time in office, and its outcome will shape the next two years in Washington.
