(Trends Wide Spanish) — This Tuesday, November 8, the midterm elections of the United States will be held, in which the Congress and 36 governorships of the country will be renewed.
The US Congress is made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives. In the case of the first, 35 seats are at stake (or about a third of the 100 senators in the United States).
Meanwhile, a total renewal is in dispute in the House, which, together with the Senate, can define the path of the remainder of the presidency of Joe Biden, who ends his term in 2024.
Seats up for grabs in the House of Representatives
The United States House of Representatives is made up of 435 legislators. All of these seats will be up for renewal in Tuesday’s election.
It should be remembered that US representatives are in office for two years and, after this time, they can opt for re-election.
Currently, the Democratic Party has 220 representatives in the House; the Republican Party, 212; and there are three vacant seats, which will also be defined in the midterm elections.
Can this election affect the 2024 presidential elections?
The midterm elections this Tuesday may be of great relevance for the next presidential elections in 2024, especially because of the benefit they could bring to the Republican Party.
To have control of the House, 218 seats are needed, so now the Democrats, with 220 seats, have the ability to push through bills from the Biden government.
However, projections indicate that this could change in the elections on Tuesday.
According to Trends Wide’s “Race Ratings” of the House of Representatives, Republicans are currently favorites to win 216 seats in the midterms; meanwhile, it is estimated that the Democrats will win 199 seats.
And the remaining 20 places to complete the 435 representatives are still in suspense, so these would define control of the House.
Although the Republicans do not have control of the House in these projections, the scenario looks complicated for the Democratic Party, because of the 20 seats that are in limbo, the Republican Party only needs two to control many movements in this section of the US Congress. and, therefore, also the path that the Biden government may follow towards 2024.
