US Election Series: Other elections to watch

Presidential race isn’t the only election to watch out for in the United States, voters would be casting ballots for Senate races as well as races for the House of Representatives. These races are equally vital for the future of America. For example, If Hillary Clinton manages to win the White House but the Republicans succeed in retaining both the Senate and the House of Representatives, then we would have in our hands, four years of policy paralysis. Same goes for the Republican nominee Donald Trump.

All 435 seats at the House of Representatives and 34 of the 100 senate seats are up for election. Democrats have some momentum in their favor to the senate race and just might win the majority, whereas the Republicans are expected to retain the control of the House. Currently the Republicans have a 30-seats majority in the House. In the Senate, 54 are republicans currently and 44 Democrats and 2 independents. 12 governorships are also up for grabs.
