Democrats on Sunday raced to rally their voters in a bid to avoid sweeping defeats in Tuesday’s midterm elections, with Republicans holding a slim advantage in polling heading into the last two days of campaigning.
Early voting data pointed to high turnout across the country and massive spending on political advertising as both parties made their final pitches to Americans, who will cast their verdict on Biden’s agenda as well as the appeal of a Republican party that is still in thrall to former president Donald Trump.
According to the latest polling averages, Republicans have a narrow edge against their Democratic opponents, which should be sufficient for them to regain control of the House of Representatives after four years. However, the majority in the Senate remains in the balance and will come down to a handful of hotly contested races, including in Pennsylvania, Nevada and Georgia.
