The results of the midterm elections could see President Joe Biden’s agenda effectively locked down for the next two years if projections of an expected Republican victory in Congress come true.
The 435 seats in the House of Representatives are up for grabs, as are the 34 seats in the Senate and the 36 governorships, plus a myriad of state and local functions.
