Polling stations closed in a number of US states in the midterm elections, which will determine the fate of the majority in Congress and the margin of maneuver for President Joe Biden.
Americans voted Tuesday as Republicans struggle to win a majority in Congress, which would paralyze President Joe Biden’s agenda for the next two years and pave the way for Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
Some major states have had hot elections, and in those same states, the 2020 presidential election is on the line.
The vote will renew the entire House of Representatives (435 seats) and a third of the Senate seats, in addition to a plethora of local chapters, and five states will hold referendums on abortion rights.
The counting of votes has begun, as shown by the preliminary results:
