KEY POINTS

  • Polls closed in more than half the US and vote counting is underway
  • Democrats won North Carolina, Georgia and New Hampshire in early results
  • Chris Pappas will be the first openly gay man in the US Senate
  • Democrats may win a House majority and gain Senate ground
  • Election night could last several days

Polls have closed in more than half of the United States and vote counting is underway in the midterm elections for Congress and the Senate. Voting proceeded without serious incidents, though some technical problems and weather conditions caused issues in places. The first results are especially encouraging for Democrats, who have held their eastern strongholds and won a surprise victory in North Carolina with Roy Cooper.

Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff won re-election in Georgia, while Chris Pappas won a key race in New Hampshire. Ossoff is one of his party's most visible young figures and a possible 2028 presidential candidate. Pappas, 46, will become the first openly gay man in the US Senate.

“Chris Pappas will be the first openly gay man in the US Senate.”

— La Voz de Galicia

Democrats now have a chance to win a majority in the House of Representatives, currently controlled by Republicans with 219 of 435 seats. They could also gain ground in the Senate, though control depends on several tight races in a handful of states.

The election night is expected to be long and could last several days. More results are still being counted as the process continues across the country.
