Voters across the country are heading to the polls today to have their voices heard.
The Midterm Elections will determine control of Congress.
Key issues include healthcare, immigration and the economy.
But the election is also seen as a reflection on the first two years of President Trump’s time in office.
Most Candidates will continue to campaign throughout the day today, working to deliver their message right up until the polls close.
In the final days of the campaign, President Trump barnstormed the country, rallying with Republican candidates from Montana to Florida.
His message to voters: keep Government under Republican control.
“We have the greatest economy in the history of the country.” said President Trump, who also makes more controversial issues part of his Midterm push. “Sometimes its not as exciting to talk about the economy, right?”
On immigration, President Trump takes a hard line with harsh words for Central American Migrants and Democrats who he says support them.
“While they’re trying to distract you with all this stuff they’re are robbing you blind.” said Former President Barack Obama.
Democrats want to focus on healthcare.
They accuse Republicans of trying to take away insurance protections for the sick.
A CNN poll shows voters pining for change in the Congressional balance of power with 55% supporting a Democratic take over.
That has Republicans on defense in unfamiliar turf, including in deep red Texas and Tennessee.
“This is gonna be very, very close.” said Democratic Representative Beto O’Rourke, who’s running for Ted Cruz’s Senate seat.
The election is seen as a referendum on President Trump.
Many Democrats want a check on the President’s policies and rhetoric.
Still, many Republican candidates are promising to fight along side the President if they’re sent to Congress.
Democrats need to flip 23 seats to take control in the house.
The Senate map is much closer currently 51 Senators caucus with Republicans, compared to 49 with Democrats.
While Republicans have expressed concern about losing the House, they are more bullish on the Senate where there is a stronger chance to retain GOP control.
