The vote could upend the balance of power in Washington and send Joe Biden's agenda into deep freeze.
Millions of Americans will vote in the midterm elections on Tuesday, with the balance of power in Congress at stake.
President Joe Biden, a Democrat, and ex-President Donald Trump, a Republican, made their closing arguments in duelling rallies. Democrats currently control the White House and - by razor-thin margins - both chambers of Congress. The party in power typically sheds an average of two dozen or so seats in the midterms, which fall halfway through a president's four years in office.
Despite delivering on promises to lower prescription drug prices, expand clean energy and revamp US infrastructure, Mr Biden has seen his popularity suffer from the worst inflation in four decades, unprecedented illegal immigration and voter concerns about high crime.A political thumping for Democrats on Tuesday could embolden murmurs within the Democratic party about whether Mr Biden, who turns 80 this month, should run for re-election in 2024.
