Midterm election 2022 live stream: How to watch online tonight
The battle for Congress is tight in the 2022 election live streams
When you tune into watch the U.S. 2022 midterm election results, you watch knowing that every single race counts. The House of Representatives has been leaning to the Republican party, while the Senate is still a tight race.
Today (Nov. 8), all 435 House seats are in play for this midterm election, and 35 out of the 100 Senate seats are on the ballot. Also, 36 gubernatorial races are taking place. Results will start to come in at 6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. GMT / 10 a.m. AEDT (tomorrow), and the final states to report (Alaska and Hawaii) begin to turn in data at midnight ET / 9 p.m. PT / 5 a.m. GMT. / 4 p.m. AEDT.
Currently, the Democrats control over Congress is as thin as it could be. Vice President Kamala Harris is the tie-breaking vote in the 50-50 split, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi's control of the House is only marginally larger.
We've got everything you need to keep up to date on the latest results. Audiences around the world have stayed tuned in to find out how the American public voted in the contest of U.S. President Donald J. Trump.
That said, don't expect every election to be decided by the end of the night, as tighter races have increasingly led to recount demands.
