Democrats are heading into November's US midterm elections with a strong advantage, according to recent polls. Election prognosticators have increasingly shifted races in their favour in recent days.
Despite this, some lower-profile contests across the US present opportunities for Republicans to challenge incumbent Democrats or secure open seats. Republicans are reportedly investing significant funds into these areas to mitigate potential losses. Mid-decade redistricting in some Republican-controlled states may also assist Republicans in unseating Democrats.
Among the races to watch are the US Senate contests in New Hampshire, Kansas, and Minnesota, as well as several congressional districts including Florida's 13th, Wisconsin's first, and Alabama's second.
