What happened

Neither Republicans nor Democrats will gain a significant advantage in the US House of Representatives following the midterm elections in November, Professor of Political Science from the California Institute of Technology Rod Kiewiet told TASS.

Why it matters

"The president’s party almost always loses seats in the Senate and the House in the midterms, so that is the baseline expectation," Kiewiet said in an interview with TASS.

Common ground

"The Democratic candidates for Senate in Maine and in Michigan are problematic, however, so they may have squandered their chances there.

Perspective signals
