Dems under Biden likely to lose less than a dozen House seats

In Comparison, Clinton Bled 52 House Seats In 1994 Midterms Obama Lost A Record 63 In 2010. Even Trump Lost 40 In 2018

Washington:US President Joe Biden could well have bragging rights for one of the best performances by an incumbent in a midterm poll. Indications are that the Democratic Party could lose less than a dozen House seats (they were +5 in the outgoing Congress) in the midterm polls. By way of comparison, Bill Clinton bled House 52 seats in the 1994 midterm polls and Barack Obama lost a record 63 in 2010. Even Trump lost 40 House seats in the 2018 midterms.

A spectacular win in Florida by the incumbent Republican governor Ron DeSantis meant the rise of a new challenger within the party to former President Donald Trump’s hopes for another crack at the White House.

Many Trump surrogates lost on Tuesday night, despite predictions that a MAGA-fuelled red sweep would turbocharge his bid for another term in the White House. In one of the most compelling races in a battleground state, Democrat John Fetterman won an open Senate seat in Pennsylvania vacated by a Republican defeating Trump-back Dr Mehmet Oz.
