The 2022 midterm elections could be one of the most influential yet, with hot topics pushing voters and high-profile figures onto ballots. The Supreme Court's decision on abortion rights, rapid inflation, and other issues may sway the direction of congressional races in various states.
Voters are also having to navigate misinformation regarding the 2020 presidential election. Additionally, several states have redrawn their congressional maps for this midterm season and ahead of the 2024 election, bringing controversy to current elected officials and challenges to some running for office or re-election.
Many experts predict these key races could flip the House of Representatives and/or Senate:
