Final polls show Democrats gaining strength in key Senate battlegrounds as Americans vote in the US midterm elections
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which Trump suggested renaming after himself on the eve of midterm polling day, as voter anger over grocery and gas prices driven by his Iran war and tariffs dominated the final campaign stretch.
New York Times/Siena polling published on election day shows Democrats in contention across multiple Senate battlegrounds, with the party's closing argument focused on affordability rather than culture war. Republicans hold a razor-thin four-seat House majority of 218 to 214, making control of Congress genuinely uncertain as Americans vote today.
Judge Tanya Chutkan has blocked Trump's DOJ and DHS from sharing non-citizen voter lists with state election officials.
Ohio's Senate race between Vivek Ramaswamy and Amy Acton is rated a toss-up, while Democrat Gina Hinojosa has closed the gap on Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
Ballot confusion has struck Alaska, where a Republican voter fears he accidentally backed a 'Decoy Dan' Sullivan rather than the incumbent GOP senator.
