Meanwhile, incumbent President Joe Biden says he will address the nation tomorrow, after announcing his decision not to seek a second term.
Earlier on Tuesday, he headed back to Washington DC from his beach home in Delaware, where he was recovering from Covid
Elsewhere, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle announced her resignation, after admitting “the most serious operational failure” in the lead up to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
