2010 election

The 2010 U.S. midterm elections were held to fill all 435 House of Representatives seats and 37 Senate seats. Voter turnout was moderate, and the results reflected a shift in political power: the Republican Party gained a significant number of House seats, regaining control, while Democrats retained most Senate seats. The election was largely driven by economic concerns and dissatisfaction with the sitting government, leading to increased support for the Republicans. This shift had a substantial impact on legislative priorities and set the stage for policy debates in the subsequent years.
