With the November 5 general election approaching, key congressional races are heating up across the U.S. In Michigan, Elissa Slotkin secured the Democratic nomination for the Senate, leaving her House seat open for Curtis Hertel and Tom Barrett to contest. Meanwhile, in the CNMI, a total of 59 candidates are running for various positions, including the U.S. delegate seat vacated by Gregorio Kili C. Sablan. Additionally, four states recently held primaries, resulting in significant opportunities for new candidates, especially in districts like Michigan's 8th and Missouri's 1st. Kansas has also finalized its candidates, with Derek Schmidt set to challenge Nancy Boyda for the Second Congressional District. The competitive landscape suggests a shift in party dynamics as both parties aim for strategic gains in the upcoming elections.
