Well, here we are again.
Exactly 728 days after the 2022 midterm elections, Americans are heading to the polls to choose their 47th president, all 435 members of the House of Representatives and 34 members of the US Senate.
It’s a night that will set the course of America for the next four years as around 150 million of our fellow countrymen are set to choose between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris to be the next commander in chief.
We understand if you feel overwhelmed and we’re here to help.
Below, The Post lays out the complete election night guide.
What do the final polls say?
If the polls are accurate, this will be the closest popular vote race since the famed 1960 election between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon.
According to the RealClearPolitics polling average, Harris leads Trump by 0.1% nationwide.
No Republican nominee has won the popular vote since 2004, a streak the 78-year-old Trump will be eager to break.
When do the polls close in the most important states?
There are seven swing states that will determine the outcome of the presidential race: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Last polls will close at 7 p.m. ET in Georgia; 7:30 p.m. in North Carolina; 8 p.m. in Pennsylvania, 9 p.m. in Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin; 10 p.m. in Nevada.
What are the most important non-presidential races?
Republicans could win up to 57 Senate seats if all battleground results go their way tonight. Here’s a rundown of those races, from most likely to least likely to flip to GOP control.
Montana: Sen. Jon Tester v. Tim Sheehy
Polls indicate it will take a miracle for the three-term Democrat Tester to keep his seat against the Republican Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL
Ohio: Sen. Sherrod Brown v. Bernie Moreno
Tester’s fellow member of the Democratic Class of 2006 is hoping enough of his Trump-leaning working class base will stay loyal to propel him back to Washington for a fourth term.
