What's at stake: Senate control
For the country
- Senators vote on every federal law, confirm Supreme Court justices, federal judges and cabinet members, and ratify treaties. Terms last six years.
- Republicans hold 53 seats. Democrats need a net gain of 4 seats for a 51-seat majority, because the Vice President breaks ties for Republicans.
- If Democrats win the Senate, the President's judicial and cabinet nominees would need Democratic votes, and the President's bills could be blocked.
- If Republicans keep the Senate, the President can keep confirming judges and nominees and has a partner for legislation.
- Midterms are usually read as a verdict on the sitting president, and the president's party has lost House seats in most midterms since World War II.
If Democrats win
- Supporters say a Democratic senator would push to lower health-care costs and protect the Affordable Care Act.
- They argue for restoring federal abortion protections and expanding voting access.
- They favour raising taxes on the highest earners and corporations to fund programs.
If Republicans win
- Supporters say a Republican senator would keep taxes low and protect recent tax cuts.
- They argue for tighter border security and stricter immigration enforcement.
- They favour expanding domestic energy production and cutting federal regulation.
Arguments are summarised at party level from each side's stated priorities, not quotes from the candidates.

What's at stake: House control
For the country
- House members write the federal budget, start every tax bill and hold the power to impeach. Terms last two years.
- If Democrats win the House, they control the federal budget process in that chamber, can launch investigations and subpoena officials, and can block the President's legislation.
- If Republicans keep the House, along with the Senate, the President keeps unified control of Congress for the final two years of the term.
- Midterms are usually read as a verdict on the sitting president, and the president's party has lost House seats in most midterms since World War II.
If Democrats win
- Supporters say a Democratic House would act as a check on the President, with oversight and subpoena power.
- They argue for protecting Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security in budget talks.
If Republicans win
- Supporters say a Republican House would advance the President's agenda without gridlock.
- They argue for spending cuts, lower taxes and tougher immigration enforcement.
