Voters will also be electing governors in 36 states, choosing legislators, and selecting a host of other local representatives. \u00a0From the halls of Congress to local school boards, today\u2019s voters will decide the direction of the country for the coming years.

It is a non-voting delegate position in the U.S. House of Representatives but has been represented by a Democrat since the early 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>Former President Trump tells Fox News that he would support Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as speaker of the House, should Republicans regain control of the chamber.
