U.S. President Biden, who has the power to run for the rest of his term in this election, and runs for the next presidential election.
A day before the midterm elections, today I'm going to Maryland to attend a Democratic event.
Former President Trump, the leading Republican nominee for the presidential nomination, is campaigning for his final support in Ohio today.
After the midterm elections, he is expected to declare his candidacy for president.
While various opinion polls show that the Democratic-Republican parties are in a tight battle until the last minute, the Republican Party is expected to win the House of Representatives election with 435 votes.
Unlike in Korea, where seats are distributed according to the number of seats, even one seat is large enough for a party to occupy all standing chairpersons.
Attention is the result of the current 50-50 Senate vote.
Of the 100 people, 35 are newly elected this time, and currently four places are classified as contested areas: Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada.
As the majority of the party was decided by one or two seats, both parties waged an all-out war with influential former and current politicians.
[Barack Obama/Former President of the United States: The only way to make the economy fairer and democracy stronger is for us to fight for it.
This should not be taken for granted.]
[Donald Trump/Former President of the United States: To make America more successful, safer and more glorious, I will probably have to run again.
But keep an eye out.]
Traditionally, midterm elections are at a disadvantage for the ruling party, and the Republican Party has recently performed better in actual voting than in opinion polls, so it will be a difficult election for the Democrats.
