There is a possibility that both chambers of America’s Congress may change hands in November. Americans will be electing 471 federal officials on November 5th, including members of the House of Representatives, senators, vice-president, and president. The upcoming rematch between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump is expected to be a significant event, with a projected $3bn in campaign spending. However, the real surprise may lie in the potential shift of control in both chambers of Congress after the election. The Senate seats contested this year are favorable for Republicans, while Democrats campaigning against the chaos of Republican leadership may manage to regain control of the House. This double flip would be a remarkable political feat, as it has never happened before.
