Welcome back. 7-16 is your time.
Polls are opening around the country today for the midterms.
Democrats are hoping to ride a predicted blue wave
as Republicans hope to salvage control of Congress.
And Fox's Doug Luzader reports.
We've already seen some big turnout for a number
of these races as we hear some closing arguments
in a number of states that will determine
which party controls the reins here on Capitol Hill.
The rapper Common almost blowing out the sound system
at an 11th hour rally for Senate candidate
Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan.
A critical contest with Republican Mike Rogers laying out what he
sees as the stakes. Are you guys ready to fight for freedom tomorrow?
And that is playing out in
state after state. Early polling shows a great deal of enthusiasm
and we're hearing some anger
on both sides. I was a Democrat years ago.
I'm embarrassed to be one today.
But I cannot bring myself to vote
for a Trump minion under any circumstances.
This is the pipe inside here.
President Trump, meantime,
talking about renovations at the newly reopened
reflecting pool in Washington,
hoping there aren't waves here or elsewhere today.
When you vote, remember a party
that hates America cannot be allowed to rule.
Over the people who built our country.
And he has crisscrossed the country over the past month.
The White House says 30 events in 32 days.
And while state and local races also play into turnout,
Senate races are a big driver.
I would really be watching Maine, Michigan, and Alaska.
That's going to determine the Senate.
Veterans of these contests will look
for early signs today to see what kind of message voters
are sending.
And while we do expect high turnout today on election day,
well over 50 million Americans
have already cast ballots. In Washington, Doug Luzader, Fox News.
