2022年中期选举将成为美国历史上最重要的一次选举，国会的控制权岌岌可危。
众议院的所有435个席位和参议院100个席位中的35个席位都在投票中，还有几个有影响力的战场州的州长选举，如亚利桑那州、佐治亚州、宾夕法尼亚州和威斯康星州。
民主党人正在捍卫他们在两院的微弱多数。共和党对众议院或参议院的控制足以限制乔·拜登总统的大部分立法议程，并可能导致对他的政府甚至他的家人的调查。
麦卡锡自信他有多数票，议长
众议院少数党领袖凯文·麦卡锡在周三晚上离开国会大厦时回答记者的提问时表示，他有信心获得多数党和议长的选票。
麦卡锡说，他也和乔·拜登总统谈过。白宫证实他们在周三晚上进行了交谈，但没有透露任何进一步的细节。
麦卡锡闭门度过了一天，会见了他的一些盟友和党鞭团队。可以看到他的助手和外部顾问整天都在打电话。
不久前，有人看到共和党众议员马乔里·泰勒·格林走进他的办公室开会。她离开时没有回答任何问题。

阿拉斯加参议员竞选进入下一轮优先选择投票
美国广播公司新闻可以预测，阿拉斯加州参议员竞选中没有候选人会获得50%的首选选票。现任众议员莉萨·穆尔科斯基和凯利·奇巴卡都是共和党人，他们已经进入了下一轮排名选择投票，获胜者将于11月23日宣布。
爱荷华州众议院民主党人Axne承认竞选连任
爱荷华州民主党众议员辛迪·阿克斯内已经在竞选连任中让步，翻转了该州的第三国会选区。
“尽管今年的数字对我们不利，但我鼓励你们所有人继续与朋友和邻居就重要的问题进行艰难的对话，”她在推特上写道，就在美国广播公司新闻预计共和党州参议员扎克·纳恩将赢得席位之前不久。
随着Axne的出局，明年国会中将没有代表爱荷华州的民主党人。
Midterm election results live updates: Where the outstanding Senate races stand
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.
McCarthy confident he has votes for majority, speaker
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy expressed confidence that he has the votes for both the majority and the speakership in response to reporters' questions while leaving the Capitol Wednesday evening.
McCarthy said he has also spoken to President Joe Biden. The White House confirmed they spoke Wednesday evening, though it did not share any further details.
McCarthy spent the day behind closed doors, meeting with some of his allies and whip team. His aides and outside advisers could be seen working the phones all day.
A short time ago, GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was seen entering his office for a meeting. She did not answer any questions upon leaving.
Boebert trailing by 73 votes with 95% reporting
In her bid for reelection, Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert is trailing by a meager 73 votes with 95% of the expected vote reporting.
The Trump loyalist is vying for a second term in the state's 3rd Congressional District in the tight race against Democratic challenger Adam Frisch, a former Aspen City councilman.
Attorneys from each side have been in various county election offices talking to officials about the procedure of a recount, according to campaign and party sources.
Alaska Senate race heads to next round of ranked-choice voting
ABC News can project that no candidate in the Alaska Senate race will receive 50% of the first-choice votes. Incumbent Rep. Lisa Murkowski and Kelly Tshibaka, both Republicans, have advanced to the next round of ranked-choice voting, with the winner to be announced on Nov. 23.
Iowa House Democrat Axne concedes in bid for reelection
Rep. Cindy Axne, D-Iowa, has conceded in her bid for reelection, flipping the state's 3rd Congressional District.
"Even though the numbers weren't in our favor this year, I encourage you all to continue to have the hard conversations with your friends and your neighbors about the issues that matter," she wrote on Twitter, shortly before ABC News projected that Republican state Sen. Zach Nunn will win the seat.
With Axne out, there will be no Democrats representing Iowa in Congress next year.
