2018 Congressional Campaign

The 2018 Congressional campaigns were part of the midterm elections, held to select members of Congress—specifically, all 435 House seats and about one-third of the 100 Senate seats. This election was marked by high voter engagement, driven by issues such as healthcare, immigration, and the economy, amid widespread political polarization. The Democratic Party gained control of the House, while the Republican Party maintained control of the Senate. The results shifted legislative dynamics and reflected broader public sentiment toward the Trump administration and national policies. Overall, it was a significant election that influenced the policy agenda for the subsequent two years.
