MIDTERM ELECTIONS 2022: Crucial Nevada Senate race gets CLOSER as more votes come in – while Arizona keeps counting through the night and Wisconsin stays too close to call

The midterm election results could see President Joe Biden‘s agenda effectively stymied for the next two years if projections of an expected Republican sweep of Congress come true.

All 435 seats in the House of Representatives are up for grabs, as are 34 Senate seats and 36 governorships – in addition to a myriad of state and local roles.

The crucial Nevada Senate race is close as more votes have come through, while Arizona is counting through the night and Wisconsin is too close to call.

In Colorado, Trump loyalist Lauren Boebert faces nail-biting race to keep her House seat.

Democrats have largely focused their campaigns on outrage over the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade and subsequent Republican-led efforts to curb abortion access.

They’ve also ramped up warnings in the closing weeks that a GOP majority could pose a threat to democracy, given Donald Trump and his allies’ efforts to upend his 2020 election loss.

Republicans, meanwhile, have focused their campaigns on kitchen table issues such as the economy, inflation and rising crime rates. A growing number of Americans are discontent with the state of their pocketbooks, and the GOP has tied that to Biden and Democrats’ policies over the last two years.
