In November, the US will hold elections to decide on a new president for the next four years. The race will be between incumbent Joe Biden for the Democrats and former President Donald Trump for the Republicans. Recent national polls show a close race between Biden and Trump, with the candidates neck and neck in terms of popularity.
The outcome of the election will also determine the composition of the House of Representatives and a third of the Senate. Several swing states like Michigan, Georgia, and Pennsylvania will play crucial roles in deciding the winner. Winning these states will award all the electoral votes of the state to the candidate, and 270 votes are needed to secure the presidency. With both candidates currently lacking a clear majority, the election outcome remains uncertain.
Opinions about the candidates are divided, and their supporters will be crucial in mobilizing voters to win their respective parties’ primaries. The few undecided voters and voter turnout will play significant roles in determining who wins each state’s electoral votes, ultimately deciding who gets 270 votes or more to become president.
Apart from the presidential race, several seats in both chambers of Congress will be contested by Democrats and Republicans alike. The Democrats face challenges in maintaining their Senate majority while seeking to expand their control over both chambers if they can win key battleground states like Arizona or Florida. However, if they fail to maintain their Senate majority or lose ground in other key swing states like Wisconsin or Ohio, it could lead to a Republican sweep of both houses of Congress.
Factors like age, legal issues, voter mobilization, turnout rates and public opinion polls will all impact how this election unfolds in November 2022.
In summary, as we approach November 2022’s election season, there is still uncertainty about which party may emerge victorious due to close races between incumbent Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump for president.
However, apart from that closely watched race for president, several contested seats across both chambers of Congress will also be decided by voters in November 2022.
