Republicans are confident of winning the House as Trump moves closer to announcing a 2024 White House bid
The Biden administration was braced for a bad night on Tuesday as the US midterm election results threatened to rob the Democrats of control of Congress, just as former president Donald Trump appears ready to announce another run for the White House.
But the Democrats were holding out hope that they might just retain control of the US Senate if a handful of closely fought races fell their way.
In Arizona’s Maricopa county, officials said they had resolved a tabulator issue that had caused delays at some polling places.
One community center in Georgia’s Cobb county announced it would stay open an additional 45 minutes after a delayed start on Tuesday morning.
Some polling sites in Pennsylvania’s Luzerne county ran out of paper, resulting in some voters being turned away. A court ruled that the Republican-leaning county should stay open until 10pm ET to ensure voters had enough time to cast their ballots.
