What's at stake for Congress this midterm?
Republicans hold narrow majorities as Democrats need four House seats and four Senate seats to flip control, analysts said.
- On Election Day, voters head to the polls to decide which party will control the House of Representatives and the Senate for the 120th Congress.
- The GOP currently holds 219 seats in the House, while Republicans maintain 53 of the 100 Senate seats, with Democrats holding 45 and two independents caucusing with them.
- Counting ballots begins Tuesday, but unofficial results may take days as election workers process mail-in votes and verify signatures, which could trigger recounts in close races.
- Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, noted that divided control could halt President Donald Trump's agenda, stating, "It'll be stopped by one or both houses."
- Todd Belt, professor of political management at The George Washington University, warned against expecting major legislation, as Democrats would likely lack the 60 votes needed to overcome a Senate filibuster.
