Video Summary
AI GeneratedVoters across the U.S. are casting ballots in critical elections that will determine the balance of power in the Senate. Key battleground races in Alaska and Michigan are facing last-minute controversies, while the overall results are viewed as a referendum on President Trump's second term, his economic policies, and the ongoing conflict in Iran.
Right now, voters all across America are in line to vote.
Fox's Rebecca Castor is on Capitol Hill
with some of the hot races we're watching across
the U.S. Rebecca, good morning.
Good morning.
Katie, good morning. Who walks
these halls next year all comes down to today. The focus is on
the Senate tonight, where there are about seven states
that could ultimately decide the balance
of power, and some last-minute drama can make
the difference in two races.
Everybody has a say, so vote.
As voters nationwide cast their ballots today,
there are two especially hot Senate
races to watch in Michigan and Alaska.
In Alaska, Democrat Mary Peltola,
who's running against Republican Dan Sullivan,
is accused of working to get another Dan Sullivan
on the ballot to confuse voters.
Peltola denies the allegations.
I am so deeply offended by these accusations.
But the alleged scheme has frustrated many Alaskan voters.
It tells me that the only way they think they can win is to cheat.
There's also a showdown in Michigan. We won't back down.
Democrat Abdul Al-Sayed is going head
to head with Republican Mike Rogers.
And in a stunning turn of events, Democratic Congresswoman
Haley Stevens, who lost the Senate primary to ElSayed,
endorsed his opponent just days before
the election. This is bigger than our parties.
At the end of it all, tonight's results are largely
a judgment on President Trump's second term,
his economy, and the unresolved war in Iran.
He spent the last month barnstorming the country to energize voters
and is optimistic Republicans will show up today.
If our people vote, we win in a landslide.
Democrats have already shared
a detailed plan of things they'd like to do
if they win control of Congress.
A top priority is using their war powers to force President Trump
to withdraw troops from Iran.
