| − | 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 top [[U.S. Senate]] races are in [[Pennsylvania]], [[Nevada]], [[Georgia]] and [[Arizona]] where the party that wins two out of those three races will take control of the Senate. Viewed another way, if the [[GOP]] wins merely one of these three states, then it probably retakes the Senate: [[Pennsylvania]], [[Georgia]], and [[Arizona]]. Perhaps as a result of this analysis, more than $250 million was spent by the weekend before the election in Georgia, a third of which was by the candidates.<ref name="AJC">https://www.ajc.com/politics/georgias-us-senate-race-on-pace-to-be-the-nations-costliest-this-year/2KW7U2JISRCRNHHZJPRPMZKENQ/?amp;ecmp=pg&amp</ref> | + | The '''2022 midterm elections''' were 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.
