Georgia has become a major political battleground over the last several election cycles. And polls in the state have closed within the last hour.

Yoest: Democrats erred in putting abortion above inflation in 2022 election
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs ruling, which effectively reversed Roe v. Wade, five states have abortion-related measures on their ballots.

Florida once decided the presidency by just 537 votes, but it could look solid red after Tuesday’s midterms. Some say that since the reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v.

Former Speaker Gingrich: GOP will gain 20-50 House seats, 2-5 Senate seats
The party of the president has traditionally endured significant losses in midterm elections. Since 1946, the only time the party controlling the White House gained seats was in 2002, when Republicans added eight representatives under President George W. Bush.
