US midterm election votes being counted as results declared

Results are being declared in the US midterm elections, with the battle for control of Congress hanging in the balance.

Congress is made up of two parts - the Senate and the House of Representatives - and the midterms are to elect new members of Congress.

Republicans are likely to take control of the House of Representatives, according to projections, but the Senate fight is on a knife-edge.

All 435 seats in the House of Representatives and a third of the Senate were up for grabs.

While President Joe Biden, a Democrat, is not on the ballot, the midterms will shape the fate of his agenda.
