Voters are deciding which party will control Congress. Bloomberg is offering its US election coverage for free.
Polls have opened in dozens of US states in midterm elections widely seen as a referendum on Donald Trump. Most surveys indicate Democrats could regain the House, but whether they can also win the Senate and block Trump's agenda in his final two years remains uncertain.
Voting is under way across all 50 states in midterm elections that will decide every House seat and 35 Senate seats. Democrats are seeking historic congressional gains, while Republicans hope to defy expectations. More than 57 million people had already voted early, and the Justice Department said it was sending about 1,000 monitors to polling sites.
Democrats are preparing a series of investigations into Donald Trump’s administration and business dealings if they regain one or both chambers of Congress. They are developing ways to work around White House obstruction and avoid an impeachment standoff like the one that consumed Congress during Trump’s first term.
