Americans have started casting ballots for their next president and in crucial Senate and House races, with some early voting results and polls at the end of the bitter campaign pointing to a narrow lead for Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Mrs Clinton cast her own vote after 8am in Chappaqua, New York after a gruelling final day of campaigning that ended with a midnight rally in North Carolina. Donald Trump, who voted in New York City, told Fox News that his campaign would end up having been a waste of time if he did not become the 45th president of the US.
“If I don’t win, I will consider it a tremendous waste of time, energy and money. I will have spent over $100m on my own campaign,” Mr Trump told the cable network.
