‘Bordering on angry’: The state of play as US midterms enter final month

Washington, DC – Democrats have the momentum; Republicans are surging in defence and cash.

With control of the US House of Representatives and the US Senate at stake, Democrats begin October with a surprisingly rosy outlook as more congressional seats are seen as in play. Republicans, meanwhile, appear to be in damage control, pouring millions of dollars into races once seen as secure victories while injecting more funding into a handful of marquee showdowns.
