VOTING PROCESS HAS STARTED

Voting has begun for the midterm elections in the USA.

Democrats appear ahead

According to the table on the RealClearPolitics (RCP) news platform, which compiles general and state-level surveys, it is estimated that 47 of the seats in the Senate will be won by Democrats and 44 by Republicans.

Of the 9 seats in which the head-to-head race is ongoing, 8 seem to be Republican and 1 Democratic. Republicans are expected to reach 50 seats in the Senate if they win at least 6 of the 9 seats in the neck-and-neck states.

If there is a 50-50 tie in the Senate, Vice President J.D. Vance's tie-breaking vote could give Republicans a majority. According to the law, the US Vice President, who also serves as the President of the Senate, can use the tiebreaking vote in favor of his party.

Democrats seem to have an advantage in the House of Representatives

In the House of Representatives, which will all be up for election, the party that reaches 218 seats will gain the majority.

According to the current table in the RCP, Republicans are expected to win 180 seats in the House of Representatives and Democrats are expected to win 227 seats.
