Ahead of Election Day, predictions for control of Congress still remain a toss-up, while policy experts predict that President Joe Biden and former President Trump will re-run in the 2024 presidential election. Left-leaning articles predict Democrats will weather heavy losses resulting in an anticipated Republican control of the House of Representatives, whereas right-leaning articles highlighted sources from political insiders who predicted a “red wave” this year following the midterm elections.
The Hill published a centrist article predicting Biden and Trump as “obvious” frontrunners for candidacy in the 2024 presidential race. Although neither individual has outright declared their intention to run, they have both taken opportunities at rallies and events to hint their interest in running. Both Biden and Trump have been reported to criticize each other in key speeches, signaling an early start to their presidential campaign.
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlighted the competitive race for control of both the Senate and the House. In the battleground state of Ohio, the Post reported that Trump backed J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) with a speech rebuking the “radical left.” With big losses expected during the midterm elections, Democrats brace for a defeat in the House, while the evenly divided Senate remains at play.
A right-leaning article by Fox News, as Election Day approached, compiled predictions from multiple political insiders in both parties. Josh Kraushaar, a Fox News contributor and a senior correspondent for Axios, said the Democrats have a “fighting chance” for the House majority. Predictions from Republican sources reveal confidence in GOP control of the House and a tight race for the Senate, whereas predictions from Democrat strategists express optimism that the party is “going to have a good night.”
