Washington, Nov 11 (PTI) Young voters, including first-timers, turned out in large numbers at polling booths this Tuesday and voted for the Democrats, which many experts believe is the reason for the better-than-expected performance of the ruling party led by President Joe Biden.
The Republicans, headed by former president Donald Trump, have made some progress in the House of Representatives while the vote for the Senate is on a knife edge.
The Democrats are trying to hold on to control of the Senate, the upper chamber of Congress. Before Tuesday's election, the Senate was split 50-50 but the Democrats had control through the casting vote of vice-president Kamala Harris.
