The biggest political test of Donald Trump’s presidency comes Tuesday in House and Senate elections that will determine whether his Republican Party keeps control of Congress for the next two years.
Democrats hope to retake at least one chamber of Congress, and polls show they have a shot at winning the 23 seats needed to flip the House. The 2018 electoral map gives Republicans an advantage in holding to the Senate. In addition to all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats on the ballot, there are 36 races for governor.
