Live National Updates: Election Day Arrives After Surge in Early Voting as Senate, House Control Hang in the Balance
Millions have already voted as legal fights over noncitizen claims, mail ballots and federal election oversight could affect counting and certification.
- On Tuesday, Election Day polling sites opened across the U.S. as more than 57 million voters had already cast ballots, with turnout surpassing early vote totals from four years ago in many closely watched states.
- Trump has spent months attempting to federalize election rules through executive orders; the Supreme Court rejected his effort to restrict mail balloting less than two months ago, yet his administration continues filing lawsuits over federal monitors and noncitizen voters.
- Republican committees directed 88.1% of television ad spending into states Trump won in 2024, totaling more than $850 million in ad reservations. Yet most voters blame the administration for high prices, with only 25% approving of Trump's economic handling.
- House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries outlined an ambitious 100-days agenda focused on lowering living costs and aggressive oversight of the Trump administration. Jeffries said his party aims to "hold the crooks accountable," with impeachment not off the table.
- Results will define Trump's final two years in office; Congress could emerge as either a key backstop for his priorities or a new power center for Democrats. A Democratic-led chamber could halt presidential nominees and challenge the White House agenda.
