If, as expected, Republicans win the House and possibly take control of the Senate, American politics could descend into partisan paralysis until at least 2024
is certain ahead of the midterm elections on November 8th: most attention will go on hard-fought House and Senate races in battleground states. But they are not the only ones worth watching. Several less prominent races in the states will have significant consequences for the country. If, as expected, Republicans win the House and possibly take control of the Senate, too, politics in Washington,, until at least 2024.
Also significant are the elections for the office of secretary of state. Of the 27 states that will elect one on Tuesday, 13 have a candidate on the ballot who denies the legitimacy of the 2020 election, according to States United Democracy Centre, a non-partisan outfit. Secretaries of state administer voting rules and often serve as the state’s chief election official.
The other group of candidates to watch are the presidential hopefuls. Gavin Newsom in California, a Democrat, is expected to trounce his Republican rival, Brian Dahle. Mr Newsom has positioned himself as a leading Democratic voice on the national stage, as he weighs a potential run for president, using campaign funds to run advertisements not just in his own state but in Texas and Florida, in order to criticise those states’ rightward shift.
