Donald Trump was heard but not seen on Tuesday as voters took to the polls in an election expected to be a referendum on his leadership and a harbinger of the next two years in his presidential term.

As of late afternoon, the president remained at the White House, communicating with Americans via his Twitter account. He offered endorsements for several Republican candidates for Congress but avoided the incendiary attacks against Democrats that featured prominently in his pre-election blitz of rallies and social media posts.
