On Tuesday, anxious voters around the country cast their ballots in the crucial 2022 midterm elections amidst heightened partisanship and division.

Both 35 of the 100 Senate seats and all 435 of the U.S. House of Representatives seats are up for election. In addition, governors are being chosen in 36 of the 50 states and three US territories. There are also several additional state and local elections that are in play.

The elections take place while inflation, high gas costs, and concerns about an economic recession plague the US. Abortion, crime, gun control, and immigration are some of the other major issues on voters’ minds.

A voter from Virginia who only gave his name as George told Xinhua that he was worried about the American economy and lambasted Democrats, claiming that their policies had hurt the nation.

Women’s rights are the most crucial topic for Pennsylvanian supporter of the Democratic Party Leinaala Zettlemoyer during the midterm elections. The differences in American politics and society also caused her concern.

According to the final national NBC News poll conducted ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, which was released on Sunday, more than 70 percent of American voters believe that the country is moving in the wrong path.

A total of 81 percent of respondents to the study indicated that they are “extremely” or “somewhat” unhappy with the state of the economy in their country.

U.S. President Joe Biden, who is not running for reelection this year, sent a number of tweets on Tuesday in an effort to emphasize the accomplishments of the current administration and warn of prospective Republican efforts to repeal them.

Former President Donald Trump revealed to reporters that he voted for Governor Ron DeSantis, who is running for re-election, at a voting place in Palm Beach, Florida.

Democrats currently have a slim majority in both houses of the US Congress.

Republicans are predicted to win the House this election cycle, while the Senate is in “a dead tie,” according to FiveThirtyEight, an American website that focuses on opinion poll research and politics.

In a Monday study, Sabato’s Crystal Ball, an American online political newsletter and election forecaster, stated that “there is still a significant amount of doubt concerning the Senate.” Races in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada are all appropriately categorized as jump balls.

According to a report published by Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization OpenSecrets, the overall cost of state and federal elections in this election cycle is expected to exceed 16.7 billion dollars.

According to Sheila Krumholz, executive director of OpenSecrets, “no prior midterm election has seen as much money at the state and federal levels as the 2022 elections.” We are witnessing unprecedented sums being spent on elections across the board.
