2022 Midterms

Republicans Projected To Take House, Senate Still a Toss-up

In today's midterm election, Republicans are projected to win back the House of Representatives, while the Senate is still a toss-up between the two parties., Democrats would lose control of the lower chamber of Congress even if they won all 34 toss-up races. Only 174 seats were projected as safe or likely Democrat wins – too few to reach the House majority of 218.

Applying a different approach, assumes that out of 100 different scenarios for the House vote, Republicans would prevail in 84. For the Senate, the website’s model gives the Republican party a 59-out-of-100 chance.

According to Real Clear Politics, only one Republican House district is expected to likely flip Democratic: California's 25th, where Raul Ruiz – Democratic incumbent from California's 36th district – is . The Republican incumbent of the district, Mike Garcia, is also moving on to another district in the aftermath of the 2020 Census redistricting.

While CA36 is expected to remain Democratic in its new form, several other Democratic districts are not. Democratic incumbents who face a more Republican electorate due to redistricting include of Arizona’s 2nd District as well as of New Jersey’s 7th District and of Pennsylvania’s 7th. The two latter Congresspeople already won by small margins over their opponents in 2020, both of whom are challenging them again. In Tennessee’s 5th District, long-term Democratic Congressman announced his retirement upon the release of the new district map which skews more Republican. Florida's 13th, the district of former Rep. , who is challenging Florida governor Ron DeSantis this year, met the same fate. Neither of the Democratic candidates for Cooper’s and Crist’s successor are expected to prevail.

In the Senate, two seats held by Republicans are listed as toss-ups by Real Clear Politics, compared to six seats held by Democrats. The contests in question include Sen. highly publicized race against Trump-endorsed Republican Herschel Walker and the reelection bids of Democratic Senators of Arizona, of New Hampshire and of Nevada.
