Americans Vote in 2 Days for 435 House Seats, 36 Governorships and Senate Control
3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 1
Summary
Two days before Election Day, control of Congress remains unsettled: Fox News Power Rankings rate the Senate a toss-up and point to Democrats retaking the House.
Republicans now hold the Senate 53-47 and a razor-thin House majority, but they face the usual midterm headwinds, persistent inflation, an unpopular Iran war and Trump's weakening approval ratings.
The Senate map is tight enough that Democrats are favored in 48 seats and Republicans in 47, with both parties three seats short of a majority and the GOP needing 50 because Vice President JD Vance breaks ties.
Beyond Congress, voters will choose governors in 36 states and decide 145 statewide ballot measures, including voter-ID and noncitizen-voting proposals in 11 states and high-profile tax, abortion and transgender-rights questions.
Polls begin closing at 6 p.m. ET in parts of Kentucky and Indiana and finish at 1 a.m. ET in Alaska, with early House clues expected from competitive districts such as Kentucky's 6th.
