Control of Congress hangs in balance after midterms
Republicans and Democrats are in a tight race for control of the US Congress, a day after the midterms.
สล็อตออนไลน์ It can be played anywhere, anytime, and there is no time limit. It's called 24 hours a day, and the entire web is asked by the staff who answer questions and problems for the players at all times.
With votes still being counted, Republicans are favourites to win the House of Representatives, but the fight for the Senate is on a knife-edge.
Democrats have gained a key Senate seat in Pennsylvania, but two other contests remain too close and one is heading for a run-off vote next month.
The economy and abortion were the biggest concerns for voters.
Though this should have benefitted Republicans, they have not seen the "red wave" of victories they had hoped for.
The US Congress is made up of two parts - the House of Representatives and the Senate. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate were up for grabs. Members of the House represent their local populations and Senators represent the interests of their states.
Although President Joe Biden, a Democrat, is not on the ballot, the midterms will shape the fate of his agenda. If Democrats lose control of either the House or the Senate, Republicans will be able to block his plans.
Speaking on Wednesday, Mr Biden said Tuesday's election had been "a good day for democracy" in America. In the run-up to the vote, he had warned that Republicans - who fielded a number of candidates who amplified false claims that the last presidential election was rigged - were a threat to democracy.
