Meanwhile, President Donald Trump spent a quiet day at the White House following a series of Make America Great rallies that culminated in three rallies that stretched late into the night, according to White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders.

Trump and First Lady Melania have invited family and friends to join them in watching election returns Thursday night, Sanders told reporters, as quoted by ABC.

According to many, if not most pundits, Republicans have a better than even chance of hanging on to a majority in the US Senate.
