JAKARTA - President Joe Biden's name will not appear in the vote, but the stakes are big for the 81-year-old president and his legacy as he waits to see if the country will send its predecessors or successors elected to the White House next year.
President Biden has relatively not appeared in recent days and is expected to do the same today, Tuesday, November 5.
Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will witness the election results from the White House's residence with the old aides and senior White House staff, a White House official said.
Today's election looks much different from what Biden had imagined a few months earlier, when he hoped voters would vote for him for a second term at the White House and the results could help determine how the president would be remembered.
Tim Biden merasakan dukungan cepatnya terhadap Harris setelah keluar dari pencalonan membantu membuka jalan bagi partai tersebut untuk segera bersatu dalam pencalonannya.
Harris' victory will prevent Donald Trump from returning to the White House.
But Kamala Harris' defeat could raise questions within the party about whether Biden has maintained his candidacy for too long and jeopardized the Democratic Party's chances.
"We have made a lot of progress, and Kamala will continue with the progress," Biden said on Saturday last week.
We've been asking a lot of each other, trade unions and I'm a union and I'm asking one more thing for you. I ask you for your support for Kamala and the Walz Team. I'm not just asking for me. I'm leaving, "said Biden.

Even as he was sidelined, Biden continued to warn about the impact the second Trump presidency could have on his country.
While the White House has been working to protect some of Trump's important achievements if Trump wins and seeks to cancel much of the president's legacy.
"I am very different from Trump and his personality," said Biden. "What will happen? What will happen if you exchange my government for his government?" he said.
