While US presidential elections are a key theme of the night, investors should also keep in mind that US voters will decide on some seats in the House and Senate. While Democrats look certain to retain their majority in the House of Representatives, polls suggest that Republicans may lose control over the Senate. In such a case, Republicans would find themselves in a poor position even if they win White House - Democrats could immediately attempt to impeach Trump. Polls project that 6 seats are likely to change hands while 2 others are too close to call. States, incumbents and expected result announcement hours are provided in the table below.
