The 2022 midterm elections are shaping up to be some of the most consequential in the nation's history, with control of Congress at stake.
All 435 seats in the House and 35 of 100 seats in the Senate are on the ballot, as well as several influential gubernatorial elections in battleground states like Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Democrats are defending their narrow majorities in both chambers. Republican control of either the House or Senate would be enough to curtail most of President Joe Biden's legislative agenda and would likely result in investigations against his administration and even his family.

Where the battle for House control stands
As of early Saturday morning, Republicans have won 211 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives while Democrats have won 205.
Republicans flipped a total of 16 House seats so far, according to ABC News projections, while Democrats flipped five House seats.
Nineteen House races remain outstanding. Of those, Republicans lead in 10 of them and Democrats are ahead in nine of them. Republicans only need to win seven outstanding seats to get control of the House.

With Arizona Senate race called, all eyes turn to Nevada
With Democrat Mark Kelly being the projected winner of the Senate race in Arizona, the spotlight is now on Nevada for who will win the seat in the Silver State.
ABC News projections show a dead heat for power in the Senate, with Democrats and Republicans winning 49 seats each. If Democrats win Nevada, they will keep their narrow majority in the chamber. If Republicans win, majority control of the Senate will come down to the Georgia runoff in December.
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto is locked in a tight reelection race against Republican Adam Laxalt. Currently, with 92% of the expected vote reported, Laxalt leads Cortez Masto by one point, 49-48%.
Mastriano appears to admit defeat
Republican Doug Mastriano on Friday appeared to admit that he lost Pennsylvania’s gubernatorial race, days after ABC News called the race for Democrat Josh Shapiro, who leads by nearly 15 points with the final votes being tallied.
“We would have beat him without his lies and accusations,” Mastriano argued, in livestreamed remarks alongside his wife, Rebbie.
Since a Tuesday night speech in which he said he would “respect” what “the people of Pennsylvania say,” Mastriano had not spoken publicly about the race.
His silence has not bothered Shapiro, who told a Philadelphia radio station Friday that Mastriano had not called him to concede. “But who cares?” said the governor-elect. “The people pick the winner, not him.”
