The "red wave" predictions were mirrored in other analyses, with the Cook Political Report even offering rays of hope for Republicans in 10 House seats in deep-blue states - New York, New Jersey, Oregon, California and Illinois. If all of the website's projections hold true, Republicans need to win just six of the races it rated 'toss up' to seize the House majority. Democrats, meanwhile, would need to win 29 of the toss up races to keep control of the chamber. Control of the Senate will come down to a small clutch of battleground states. According to Real Clear Politics, Republicans are set to pick up seats in Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire and Arizona. They could also hold on in the key state of Pennsylvania, where Democrat candidate and stroke survivor John Fetterman has seen his lead against Republican celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz evaporate. Another respected polling aggregator, FiveThirtyEight, has also updated its forecast to predict a Republican majority in the Senate, with a majority of 52-48 seats. Amid the grim tidings for Democrats, Mr Biden unexpectedly added a late speech to his schedule on Wednesday, in which he was expected to raise the stakes for voters. The president is expected to once again warn that "democracy is on the ballot" in a speech from Washington's Union Station, blocks away from the US Capitol, the White House said. Aides said the location was intended as a reminder of the January 6 2021 Capitol attack, when a pro-Trump mob stormed Congress in an attempt to overturn Mr Biden's victory. "What we are seeing is an alarming number of Republican officials suggest they will not accept the results of this election," said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. "This is not a regular moment in time," she added. "He's going to call it all out."){kind=link}
The party’s loss of just one chamber could potentially doom much of Joe Biden’s legislative ambitions
Republicans appear poised for a clean sweep of Congress after a host of polls forecast a “red wave” in both chambers in next Tuesday’s midterm elections.
The late surge could see Republicans hold 54 seats out of 100 in the US Senate, according to the polling aggregator Real Clear Politics.
The projection adds to the bleak forecast for the Democrats in the House of Representatives, where the party is also expected to lose its majority.
Real Clear Politics predicted the GOP claiming a majority of at least 10 seats in the House.
