Roughly a third of the Senate, all 435-members of the House of Representatives, and governors’ offices in 36 of the 50 states are up for grabs in Tuesday's midterm elections.
between the two major political parties, but the Democrats control the majority thanks to the tie-breaking vote of Vice President Kamala Harris through her Constitutional role as president of the Senate. That means Republicans need a net gain of just one seat in the midterms to win back the majority they lost when they were swept by the Democrats in Georgia’s twin Jan. 5, 2021, Senate runoff elections.
Scott charged that"it's real simple. People are fed up with open borders, high inflation, high crime. They're just fed up with this stuff, and the Democrats did it." The Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization abortion ruling, along with declining gas prices and a slew of legislative victories by Biden and congressional Democrats, gave the party a shot in the arm over the summer as their poll numbers rebounded.But polls indicate the Democrats’ summer surge didn’t last into autumn as gas prices once again spiked, inflation concerns didn’t dissipate and Republicans inundated the airwaves with ads bashing the Democrats over crime.
A troubling sign for Democrats is that recent polling indicates the GOP making gains with Spanish-speaking and Black voters, two core Democratic constituencies. Pushing back against what appeared to be a building red wave, Democratic National Committee spokesperson Ammar Moussa told Fox News that"Democrats are highlighting historic accomplishments like lowering prescription drug costs, helping create over 10 million jobs, and passing a bipartisan infrastructure law," which he emphasized gives his party"a powerful closing message to take to the American people.
