Polling stations opened on the U.S. East Coast for the midterm congressional elections, which followed early voting and mail-in ballots, setting a record with more than 54 million voters.
These elections are of particular importance, as they will determine the balance of power in Congress during the final two years of President Donald Trump’s term.
The focus is on several states that could decide control of the Senate, notably Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas, where tight races are unfolding for Senate seats. Democrats need a net gain of at least four seats to wrest majority control from the Republicans, who currently hold 53 seats compared to 47 for the Democrats and their independent allies.
In the House of Representatives, the competition is concentrated in swing districts in states such as Virginia, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.
