A fierce competition for control of Congress along with dozens of governors’ mansions and key election posts is unfolding as polls begin to close on the East Coast
WASHINGTON — A fierce competition for control of Congress along with dozens of governors’ mansions and key election posts was unfolding Tuesday as polls began closing in several closely watched states along the East Coast.
The party that wins control of the House of Representatives in the midterm elections will be able to pick the House Speaker. AP VoteCast, a broad survey of the national electorate, showed that high inflation and concerns about the fragility of democracy were heavily influencing voters. In the first national election since the Jan. 6 insurrection, the country’s democratic future is in question. Some who participated in or were in the vicinity of the attack are poised to win elected office Tuesday, including several running for House seats. Concerns about political violence are also on the rise less than two weeks after a suspect under the spell of conspiracy theories targeted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home and brutally beat her 82-year-old husband.
In state capitals, Republicans were poised to lose two governorships in traditionally Democratic states: Maryland and Massachusetts. The GOP also faced unexpected headwinds in flipping the governor’s office in Kansas. Democrats, meanwhile, were nervous about their prospects in the governor’s race in Oregon, typically a liberal bastion.
