Vice President Harris and former President Trump are facing the moment of truth on Election Day as voters around the country head to the polls.

The race has remained stubbornly deadlocked for weeks, with many pundits acknowledging it's essentially a jump ball. The Hill and Decision Desk HQ's polling aggregate finds Harris and Trump tied nationally at 48 percent.

Harris will watch results come in at her alma mater of Howard University in Washington, D.C., while Trump will be at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Control of the House is also up for grabs, and political observers of all stripes will be watching with anxious anticipation for early signs Tuesday of which party will hold the gavel in the next Congress.

The polls on the east coast will close first and results should come most quickly, although there are exceptions to the rule.
