"The US Presidential election is almost over. We'll soon find out whether Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton has won the White House. Even before election day, tens of millions of Americans had cast their ballots through early voting. It appears the Hispanic voters are coming out in record numbers, which could be a good sign for Clinton. Also hanging in the balance is control of the US Senate. Democrats are trying to win back control from Republicans. Control of the Senate is important because that body will be approving nominees that come from the White House, including Supreme Court Justices. There are all sorts of other elections playing out today including governor's races and House seats all across the country. Americans have been waiting for more than a year now to find out who our next president will be and the votes are being cast as we speak and we'll soon find out."

STORYLINE:
America's ugly and unpredictable presidential election entered its final hours Tuesday, with voters flocking to polls to choose between Democrat Hillary Clinton, hoping to become the first woman to serve as commander in chief, and Republican Donald Trump, the billionaire businessman who tapped into a searing strain of economic populism.
Clinton appeared to have multiple paths to triumph, while Trump needed to prevail in most of the battleground states to secure an upset. Control of the Senate was also at stake, with Democrats needing to net four seats if Clinton wins the White House.
The 45th president will inherit an anxious nation, deeply divided by economic and educational opportunities, race and culture. The economy has rebounded from the depths of recession, though many Americans have yet to benefit. New terror threats from home and abroad have raised security fears.
Control of the Senate was up for grabs Tuesday as Republicans' hopes of protecting their narrow majority in an unpredictable election rested on a handful of states that were toss-ups until the end.
