If current forecasts are to be believed, the Democrats will get pulverized at the polls during the midterm elections. Their only hope is that the pollsters are missing millions of new voters motivated to vote because of the overturn of Roe v Wade.
The consensus is that Republicans have at least a 50/50 chance of retaking control of the presently evenly-divided Senate. And recent forecasts have dramatically increased the expected number of House seats that will switch parties. The GOP needs only to pick five seats among the 435 House elections nationwide to take control of that chamber and therefore the purse strings of the US government.
