US Midterm Elections: Democrats Favored for Congressional Control; Impeachment Risk Rises
Three weeks prior to the US midterm elections, Democrats are favored to gain control of both the House (77% probability) and Senate (56% probability), according to polling aggregates and forecast models. This projection, while subject to voter turnout and polling margins, indicates a potential reversal of the current Republican majority. A Democratic sweep would likely lead to renewed impeachment proceedings against President Trump.
