As Election Day approaches, the control of both the U.S. House and Senate remains uncertain, with numerous races too close to call.
While many districts are solidly in favor of one party, there are enough competitive races to leave the overall outcome in question. In the House, 42 races are considered toss-ups, with Democrats defending 23 seats and Republicans defending 18. The Senate race in Nebraska, featuring incumbent Deb Fischer, is also drawing attention as candidates make their final campaign pushes.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump is making strategic campaign stops in key battleground states, including Democratic-leaning New Mexico and Virginia, in a bid to sway voters.

Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats seem to care about reducing the size of government or giving people more control over their own lives. It feels like we're just stuck choosing between two different flavors of big government.

Fate of House, Senate remains too close to call ahead of Election Day
The majority of House races are easily in the camp of one party or the other, but there are more than enough close races to keep the fate of the House in question. According to RCP, 42 races are in the toss-up category, 23 of them held by Democrats and 18 held by Republicans.
