Donald Trump predicted a “great night” for Republicans on Tuesday, as Joe Biden warned Democrats are facing a “tough” battle in closely watched US midterm elections set to reshape Washington and fire the starting gun on the 2024 presidential election cycle.
Tens of millions of Americans flocked to the polls on Tuesday to vote in the midterms, which will determine which political party controls Congress for the next two years and serve as a referendum on Biden’s presidency so far.
According to the final polling averages, Republicans are expected to win enough seats in the House of Representatives to regain control of the lower chamber of Congress — which they will use to stymie Biden’s agenda and launch investigations into his administration.
