US President Joseph Biden said before the mid-term elections that "the time has come to defend democracy". "We know deep down that our democracy is at risk," Biden told voters from a rally at the University of Maryland.
"The power of America is where it has always been - in your hands, in the hands of the people," the US president told voters.
