Mid-term elections will be held in the United States on Tuesday

In addition to elections for both houses of Congress, nearly two-thirds of states will also hold government elections on Tuesday.

Currently, Republicans hold governorates in 28 states, while Democrats hold 22. A total of 36 states are awaiting nomination as governor on Tuesday and a change of power is believed to be possible in Arizona, Kansas, Nevada, Oregon and Wisconsin. .

As the pre-election battle escalated, Democrats actively involved current White House owner Biden in their campaign, as well as former President Obama, who have begun a tour of both so-called battlefield states and Democratic strongholds to fuel the enthusiasm of their supporters, as polls show that only a fifth of voters are paying attention to the election.

However, involving Biden in the campaign is risky, as his approval ratings remain very low, with only 40% of Americans approving of the president’s performance. Furthermore, 69% of Americans believe the country is heading in the wrong direction, while 18% say the current course is the right one.

Christopher Borik, director of the Institute for Public Opinion at Muhlenberg College, told the AP that the Democrats’ chances of success are unrealistic, so they can only think about what they can protect.

Former President Trump has also joined the campaign, trying to maintain his position as a leader in the Republican Party before another possible start of the 2024 presidential election.

As a testament to the growing political and cultural divisions leading to increasing polarization, 34 million Americans had already voted on Friday.

The deepening political divide is also evidenced by the fact that confidence in the electoral system among Republicans has dropped to a minimum in 20 years, while among Democrats it has risen to a record high.
