## Resource

With the midterm elections less than 80 days away, Democrats appear confident that historical trends and current polling will deliver control of Congress. But several factors could complicate that outcome, including the course of the Iran war, Republican redistricting, Donald Trump’s campaign war chest, recent primary results, and questions about the reliability of polling. The growing influence of Democratic Socialists within the Democratic Party could also reshape the race as voters get a closer look at their positions on policing, immigration, energy, foreign policy, women’s sports, the Supreme Court, the Electoral College, and other major issues. Despite expectations of Republican losses, control of both the House and Senate remains up for grabs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
