Midterm Election Day Arrives

Voters across the country are heading to the polls today for Midterm Election Day. NBC’s Chris Pollone reports more than 54 million early votes have already been cast nationwide. President Trump has held more than two dozen in-person events across the country, seeking to boost Republican candidates ahead of Election Day. But a New York Times-Siena poll shows Democrats leading in several key Senate races, including contests in Texas, Ohio and Iowa. Control of Congress is at stake, with voters weighing in on races that could shape the direction of the federal government for the remainder of Trump’s term. The results are expected to provide an important measure of voter sentiment and could have significant implications for both parties as they look toward the next election cycle.
