The Races for Congress

  • New York Times By David Leonhardt 

    • If Trump wins, his party has a better chance to enjoy a so-called trifecta - controlling the White House, Senate and House of Representatives - but it isn't assured. "Control of the House is on a knife's edge," Maya Miller, who's been covering the campaign for The Times, told me. … Catie Edmondson, who covers Congress, said that she expected the recent infighting among House Republicans to continue, which would complicate their ability to pass some bills.

How can the candidate with most votes lose? The US electoral college explained

  • The Guardian By Sam Levine 

    • Each state has a number of electors that’s equal to the total number of representatives and senators it has in Congress. Washington DC gets three electoral votes. In total, there are 538 electors. A candidate needs the votes of 270 of them, a simple majority, to win. … The US House passed the proposed amendment 339 to 70. But the measure stalled in the Senate, where senators representing southern states filibustered.

The Struggle For Senate Control Goes Down To The Wire As Spending Shatters Records
