At issue is that the midterm elections could shake up Congress if Democrats lose too many seats.
“Republicans are favored to win the House,” according to a forecast from Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight. In addition, the Senate forecast is described as “a dead heat.”
In Florida, FiveThirtyEight’s forecast in the U.S. Senate shows that incumbent U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio likely has a 90 percent chance to win the race.
The Miami Herald also reported that “Biden will stump for Charlie Crist in South Florida one week before Election Day as Crist vies to unseat Gov. Ron DeSantis.”
Crist, a Democrat, has been a member of Congress as well as a GOP Florida governor, Attorney General and Education Commissioner.
