The article reviews the state of the midterm elections in the United States, focusing on the possibility that the Democratic Party will take control of both houses of Congress. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani called on residents to go out and vote. At stake are all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate. Early voting data from states reporting party affiliation shows that 44% of early voters are registered Democrats, compared to 31.2% Republicans and 24.7% unaffiliated. However, the article emphasizes that this should not be taken to mean Democrats are leading in the vote count, as many Republicans are expected to vote on Election Day itself. Polls in key states such as Maine, Kansas, North Carolina, Ohio, and New Hampshire show a Democratic advantage, but the gaps are within the margin of error. A national poll by PBS, NPR, and Marist puts Democrats at 52% among those highly likely to vote, versus 44% for Republicans. In the background are dissatisfaction with Trump, the cost of living, and the war in Iran. The article notes that according to CNN, in all four states surveyed, there are enough voters who might change their minds to close the gap.
