Democrats Face Uphill Battle To Retain Control In Midterm Elections

Because of redistricting, all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 34 seats in the U.S. Senate are back up for grabs.

A new year means a new election cycle. The 2022 midterm elections are now less than 11 months away, meaning all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 34 seats in the U.S. Senate are back up for grabs.  

Democrats control a narrow majority of votes in both chambers, making the chances of one or both houses flipping control all the more likely.

Sen. Rick Scott serves as the chairman of the Senate Republicans' campaign wing. Republicans need to flip just one seat to win control of the upper chamber.
