The upcoming 2022 midterm elections, scheduled to be held on November 8, 2022, will determine membership in the 118th Congress for all seats in the United States House of Representatives in addition to Class III U.S. senators. A number of statewide elections will also be held, including gubernatorial races.
The narrow Democrat majority currently in both houses of Congress is facing strong certainties of being lost in the midterm cycle following the witnessed disasters of the Biden junta. The influence of Donald Trump's involvement via endorsements also is likely to strengthen the politics of the Republican Party.
Issues
Court packing
In 2021, White House officeholder Joseph R. Biden established a commission via executive order that would consider court packing in retaliation against the successful nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court.[1] Court packing has traditionally been – and still is – highly unpopular among the majority of Americans.
