Six Issues Shape GOP Race
The outcome of the U.S. midterm elections will be shaped by six issues: control of both chambers of Congress; the cost of living and the fallout from the war with Iran; the job market; voter turnout; legal disputes over voting; and campaign spending. Republicans hold 218 seats to Democrats’ 214 in the House, and 53 to 47 in the Senate. Meanwhile, annual inflation has risen to 3.7%, and gasoline prices are up about 45% from their prewar level. Unemployment stands at 4.2%, with turnout potentially lower among some groups and concerns over disputes about voter rolls, ballot counting, and certification of results. Donald Trump has spent more than $277 million supporting Republican candidates, while Elon Musk spent about $366 million during the election cycle. The race is likely to affect Trump’s ability to advance his agenda before the 2028 election.
