Americans voted on Tuesday, November 3, in midterm elections that will decide control of Congress for the last two years of President Donald Trump's term. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats are on the ballot, and Republicans are defending narrow majorities in both chambers, CNBC reported.

Polls closed at 7 p.m. Eastern in most of Florida, at 8 p.m. in Massachusetts, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and at 9 p.m. in New York; Alaska is the last state to close, at 1 a.m. Eastern. Early in the evening, CNBC's election desk, which uses AP data, rated Georgia's Senate race between Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican Mike Collins “likely Democratic.”

AdImpact counted a record $11.87 billion in political ad spending this cycle, more than in the 2024 presidential race. South Carolina set a record for votes cast in a governor's race, with about 1.8 million ballots by mid-afternoon. In Westchester County, New York, a programming update left many machines unable to scan paper ballots; officials said those ballots were kept in emergency bags to be counted later. Several North Carolina counties stayed open late after technical delays.

In Florida, home to about 870,000 Haitian Americans, voters chose between Republican Byron Donalds and Democrat David Jolly for governor, according to The Haitian Times.

Results were still coming in late Tuesday.
