The midterm elections are 36 days away. Control of Congress remains undecided. Here is where the race stands.
Republicans hold a narrow advantage in the House. Democrats need a net gain of a few seats to flip the chamber. Several competitive districts remain too close to call.
The Senate map favors Republicans. Democrats are defending seats in states won by Donald Trump. That limits their path to keeping the majority.
Early voting has begun in several states. Turnout among younger voters has increased. Analysts say that could help Democrats in tight races.
Fundraising totals show Democrats leading in key Senate contests. Republican incumbents still hold cash advantages in several House districts. Money alone will not decide the outcome.
Both parties are focusing on the economy and immigration. Democrats emphasize abortion access and health care. Voters consistently rank the economy as their top concern.
Polling averages show tight races in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona. Small shifts could determine which party controls the Senate. House races in New York and California are equally close.
With 36 days left, the outcome remains uncertain. Both parties are pouring resources into the final stretch. Every seat will matter in the fight for Congress.
