In these elections, all 435 countries in the House of Representatives will be voted in, while in the Senate, 35 out of 100 countries will be in competition. The result will determine whether the Republicans will retain control of Congress or the Democrats will achieve the majority.
In the final hours of the campaign, democratic candidates have intensified efforts to win voter support in several countries where competitions are considered particularly competitive.
In Kansas, the Democrat candidate for the Senate, Adam Hamilton, pledged two-party co-operation, stating that if elected, he would become an ally of Republican Senator Jerry Moran. During the recent electoral rally, he focused on the cost of living, health care and the need for more consensus on politics. In front of him in the race is Republican Senator Roger Marshall.
Meanwhile, in Iowa, Democrat candidate Josh Turek named the race against Republicans Ashley Hinson as one of the closest confrontations on the American Senate map. During recent electoral activities, Turek focused on health problems and the cost of living.
Special attention has also taken on the race in Texas, where Democrat James Talarico expressed confidence that he could achieve a historic victory against Republican candidate Ken Paxton. In his speech to Austin, Talarico criticised corruption, the influence of billionaires in politics, and the economic difficulties facing citizens.
President Donald Trump was also involved in the final hours of the campaign, calling on his supporters to go massively to the polls. In an interview for Fox News, Trump said the Republicans could gain overwhelming majority if their electorate participated in the election. These elections are considered crucial for the political future of the Trump administration, as the control of Congress will directly influence the adoption of laws and implementation of the presidential agenda.
What time do the polls close?
Polling stations in the United States will gradually close, depending on the local time of each country. The first closings are expected at 6:00 local time (2300 GMT), in Indiana and Kentucky. In Michigan, the vote ends at 8:00, and Kansas at 7:00 local time. In both countries, this corresponds to 0100 GMT of today. In Iowa, polling stations close at 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, while Alaska is among the last states to complete the process, about 0600 GMT.
When are results expected?
The first results may come as early as this evening as polling stations begin to close in various states.
The count will continue throughout the night and in some cases over the next few days. Submissions sent by mail, temporary votes and other categories of voting may require additional time to count. For this reason, the first results do not necessarily mean that the winner of the races has been determined.
What are the main races to pursue?
The Democrats need a net profit of four countries in the Senate to secure the majority, while in the House of Representatives they need three seats.
Some of the confrontations that are getting the biggest attention are:
Michigan: Democrat Abdul El-Said and Republican Mike Rogers are part of a race followed closely.
Florida: Democrat Angie Nixon challenges Republican senator Ashley Moody.
Georgia: Democrat Senator Jon Osoff faces Republican Mike Collins.
Maine: Republican Senator Susan Collins vies against the Democrat Troy Jackson.
New Hampshire: Democrat Chris Pappas faces Republican John Sununu, former senator.
North Carolina: Democrat Roy Cooper and Republican Michael Happy are in the race for the Senate.
Today’s elections are considered crucial for the political future of the Trump administration. The result will determine not only the composition of Congress but also the space the president will have to implement his political agenda in years to come.
