A '''red wave''' of [[Republican]]/[[conservative]] voters has been predicted by pundits in order to give a majority of Republicans in the [[U.S. Congress]] and potentially in [[U.S. Senate]] as well in the 2022 midterm U.S. Congressional elections.

Historically, in the midterm elections during a President's first term, the opposing party tends to gain seats, and frequently will gain the majority of the House since all 435 seats are up for re-election (this took place during the 2018 midterm elections when the Democrats, the party opposing Republican President [[Donald Trump]], took House control, as well as in 2010 when the Republicans took House control from the Democrats, the party of President [[Barack Obama]]); the Senate (which only has 1/3 of its seats up for re-election each year not counting special elections to fill unexpired terms) is usually harder to reclaim. Similarly, in those instances where a President is re-elected, the midterm elections frequently go against his party (this was the case in 2014, when the Republicans gained 13 seats in the House and nine seats in the Senate, reclaiming control of the latter).
