WASHINGTON (AP) — Months of campaigning have come to a close as Americans vote in the midterm elections that will decide control of Congress and top governorships. Tuesday’s election could also help shape economic policy, access to abortion and even how elections are held. They are certain to test the political strength of President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump. No major early voting problems have been reported, though there are some hiccups typical of most Election Days. Biden said he thought his party would keep the Senate but “the House is tougher.” Asked how that would make governing, his assessment was stark: “More difficult.”
