US Midterm Elections: Biden Agenda at Stake

With Congress out of Democrats’ hands, he would see his legislative agenda collapse.

That would raise questions over everything from climate crisis policies, which the president will be laying out at the COP27 conference in Egypt this week; to Ukraine, where Republicans are reluctant to maintain the current rate of US financial and military support.

More than 40 million ballots were cast through early voting options, meaning the outcome had already begun to take shape before election day.

Polls start to open on the East Coast at 6 am (1100 GMT), and begin closing 12 hours later.

Up for grabs are all 435 House seats, a third of the 100 Senate seats, and a slew of state-level posts. Four states are also holding referendums on abortion — California, Vermont, Kentucky and Michigan.
