With 100 days until the midterm elections, Democrats are zeroing in on a handful of battleground states where they believe they can flip control of Congress. The party currently holds a slim majority in the House and a 50-50 split in the Senate, but historical trends and redistricting have made their path difficult. Key targets include Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia, states that saw close races in 2020 and have competitive House districts and Senate seats up for grabs. Democrats hope to leverage voter turnout driven by issues like abortion rights and economic concerns. The outcome will determine whether President Biden can advance his agenda or face divided government. Both parties are pouring resources into these states, spending millions on ads and field operations. The next 100 days will test whether Democrats can overcome the usual midterm losses for the party in power.
