US midterms: Democrats upbeat as GOP spending surges in final month
Al Jazeera·US·about 19 hours ago
Democrats are closing the gap in five key Senate races, potentially flipping control from Republicans. Independent voter support and disapproval of Trump are driving the shift, though the ruling party's typical midterm wear and tear remains a factor. The outcome is uncertain and hinges on turnout and late-breaking dynamics.
One month prior to the US Midterm Elections, polling indicates a tighter-than-expected contest, with Democrats showing modest gains in House and Senate races, challenging Republican control of Congress. Republican donors are increasing spending to mitigate potential losses, while the overall outcome remains uncertain due to competitive races and shifting political momentum.
