The Briefing:
  • Election Day is underway across all 50 states, with all 435 House seats, 35 Senate seats — including two special elections for the vacancies left by VP JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio — and 36 governorships on the ballot in a direct referendum on Donald Trump's second term.
  • More than 58 million Americans cast ballots before polls opened Tuesday, shattering the previous midterm early-voting record and pointing toward one of the highest off-year turnouts since 2018.
  • The Trump Justice Department deployed roughly 1,000 federal election monitors to all 50 states — nearly four times the 2022 figure — as a federal court injunction continues to bar DHS field operations targeting suspected noncitizen voters in nine states.
