If you’re just waking up in the UK and catching up – it’s been a frenetic night with results coming in from all over the US in these midterm elections.
But at this stage we still don’t know which party will control Congress once all the results are counted.
Republicans are well-placed to win control of the House of Representatives, while the Senate remains too close to call.
Here are the key takeaways so far.
Little sign of “red tidal wave”: Some Republicans had predicted a big night for the party, but Democrats have fended off fierce challenges in closely watched races and performed better than many analysts had predicted.
Abortion a key issue: The first batch of exit polls showed the economy was a major consideration for voters. But it also showed that for 3 in 10 of them, abortion was the most important issue. Experts suggest this is likely to have benefited Democrats as they poll as the most trusted party on abortion rights.
DeSantis won big: It’s not surprising that Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis won re-election – but the scale of his victory exceeded almost all predictions. He won by nearly 20 points and also won a clear majority of the Latino vote. That’s a major boost for a man who is said to be considering a 2024 presidential nomination bid.
A mixed night for Trump: On the subject of 2024, Donald Trump endorsed hundreds of candidates ahead of the midterms and their performance was always going to be viewed as a measure of his appeal ahead of a potential presidential run. But as things stand, his backed candidates have had a mixed night. Most of his high-profile picks have struggled.
