Control of the House and Senate are up for grabs in the midterm elections, and key races are taking place in swing states like Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, all of which could help determine the outcome of the 2024 presidential race.
All signs point to Republicans making significant gains on Tuesday. But whether it's a red ripple or a tsunami remains to be seen.
The fight for the Senate majority is more competitive. If Republicans pick up even one seat, they would control the Senate's upper chamber. The issue is especially critical in the push for suburban women, a group that swung against Trump's GOP in 2020 and seemed to swing back after Trump left office when the GOP shifted its focus to pandemic restrictions and the economy.Democrats sought to improve their outreach to Latinos after underperforming with the group in 2020. But there are reasons to believe that Democrats may do even worse this year among the key voting bloc, long a pillar of the party's coalition.
The Latino vote will be consequential in other states but none more so than in Arizona and Nevada, where Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto, the nation's first Latina senator, is locked in a close race.Trump remains a dominant force in the Republican Party, but Tuesday's contests will test his strength among the broader electorate.
Other Trump loyalists to watch: Ohio Senate candidate JD Vance, North Carolina Senate contender Ted Budd, Michigan gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon and New York gubernatorial hopeful Lee Zeldin.A bad night for Democrats could undermine Biden's rationale for a second term. And Trump would almost certainly seize on sweeping Republican victories as evidence of his political strength ahead of a third prospective White House bid.
