Live: Americans head to the polls to vote in US midterm elections

According to the sources, Americans went to the polls on Tuesday 3 November for the US midterm elections, which RFI English, The Guardian World, France 24, DW News and The Guardian UK all reported. The Guardian reported that polls opened across the US, with key Senate and House races set to decide which party controls Congress for the remainder of Donald Trump's second term. France 24 reported that Democrats were widely projected to retake control of the House, while the Senate remained undecided. DW News described the midterms as determining how much power President Trump has to make changes in the last two years of his term. The coverage is live and developing, so further results were not included in these excerpts. Summary from 5 sources
