The midterm elections of 2023 are among the most important for the United States, with control of Congress at stake.

The 435 seats in the House of Representatives Y 35 of the 201 seats of the Senate

are on the ballot, as well as several gubernatorial races in battleground states like Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Democrats are defending their slim majorities in both chambers. Republican control of the House or Senate would be enough to stymie most of President Joe Biden’s legislative agenda and would likely lead to investigations against his administration and even his family.

Control of the Senate is decided in Nevada or in Georgia

Remains uncertain pending midterm election results in . As of Saturday morning, Democrats and Republicans had secured 23 seats each, with the results of the Senate elections in three states still pending.

In Nevada the race for the Senate remains narrowly Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto and Republican candidate Adam Laxalt and may determine which party has majority control next year. If Cortez Masto wins re-election, the Democrats will retain power in the chamber. If Laxalt wins, the party with the majority in the Senate will be determined in the Georgia runoff election next month.

The county is expected to of Clark delivers the results of the vote on Saturday. The Nevada Independent estimated Saturday that ten of thousands of ballots remain to be counted statewide,

including approximately 19,04 of Clark County, the largest and most reliably blue county of the state, and 8, of Washoe County, battleground.

Republican Adam Laxalt took to Twitter Saturday to address the ongoing Senate battle between him and Democratic incumbent Catherine Cortez Masto votes. Several days in a row, most ballots counted by mail continue to break at higher DEM margins than we calculated. This has reduced our window of victory. The race will be reduced to 10-23K Clark delivers ballots on Election Day ”, Laxalt wrote.

Here is where we are — we are up only 800 votes. Multiple days in a row, the mostly mail in ballots counted continue to break in higher DEM margins than we calculated. This has narrowed our victory window. The race will come down to 10- 23K Election Day Clark drop off ballots.
