US President Joe Biden praised voters, poll workers, and various officials on Wednesday for participating in the midterm elections. He also said he will make further comments concerning the vote and take questions later in the afternoon.

According to the White House, Biden will be holding a press conference at 4:00 pm to deliver his remarks.

Democracy doesn’t happen by accident. We have to defend, strengthen, and renew it.

I'll have more to say this afternoon, but thanks to the poll workers and officials that worked into the night to safeguard our sacred right to vote. And the millions who made their voices heard.

How the youth voted in US midterm elections: Circle website

"While the votes are still being counted across the country and control of the US House and Senate remain undecided, it’s clear that young people had a major impact on the 2022 midterms," the US Circle website reported.

The website mentioned that youth prefer Democrats by a 28-point margin and "the national youth vote choice for the U.S. House of Representatives was 63% for Democrats, 35% for Republicans."

These numbers almost match those of the year 2020, according to the website, "when youth preferred Democrats to Republicans by 62% to 36%, and a small shift in favor of Republicans from the previous midterm: in 2018, the youth vote between Democrats and Republicans was 67% to 32%."

According to this exit poll data, the website noted that "youth ages 18-29 are the only age group in which a strong majority supported Democrats," while those aged "30-44 split their votes nearly evenly 51%-47% between Democrats and Republicans," and "older voters favored the GOP."

The website added that 12% is the youth share of all votes cast.
