The midterm primary season is nearly complete and the general election is less than two months away, but there’s still plenty of uncertainty in the House and Senate battlegrounds.
Polls show Republican candidates and incumbents around the country underperforming in states and districts that typically vote for Republicans. If President Donald Trump can use a rare midterm convention to energize the party faithful and boost GOP turnout in the closing weeks by hitting the campaign trail, Republicans could hold the Senate and minimize their losses in the House. But if an apathetic base doesn’t show up at normal levels, Republicans could suffer heavy losses on Nov. 3.
