The US will hold its midterm elections on Tuesday, with all 435 seats in the House of Representatives up for grabs, as are 35 Senate seats and 36 governorships.
Republicans would need to pick up five seats to take a majority in the House and just one to control the Senate.
A massive wave of Republican support could lead to declarations of victory hours after the polls close.
But with dozens of races expected to be close, and key states such as Pennsylvania already warning it could take days to count every ballot, experts say there is a good chance America goes to bed on election night without knowing who won.
President Biden will hope that Democrats can keep both chambers of Congress, allowing him to promote his legislative agenda, including codifying Roe. Vs. Wade into law. However, recent polling as well as historical data suggest that Republicans are poised to win the House of Representatives, with a good chance to win the Senate as well.
