Beyond the White House
The election on Tuesday will also decide who controls both houses of the US Congress, the Senate and the House of Representatives.
There are 34 Senate seats up for grabs, with the Democrats hoping to hold onto their slim majority there. The Republicans picked up a Senate seat in West Virginia, which was vacated by Democrat-turned-independent Joe Manchin. The traditionally Republican state has already been called for Donald Trump.
All 435 seats in the Republican-led House of Representatives are up for election as well. Trump’s party has the slimmest of majorities, and the Democrats have hopes of flipping the chamber their way.

Americans are also voting on statewide ballot initiatives on issues such as abortion access to the legalisation of marijuana.
