Six states to watch for the 2022 midterms

The eyes of the nation are on Pennsylvania with John Fetterman and Mehmet Oz face facing their final battleground as polls open on Election Day.

The Keystone State’s Senate race has been one of the most bizarre playing out across the country this midterm cycle, pitting two potent personalities against each other.

In the Republican corner, there’s TV personality and physician Dr Oz, who managed to slowly build support from the GOP after a rough start.

In the Democratic corner is Mr Fetterman, Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor whose campaign has been dogged by health concerns after he suffered a stroke.

As of Tuesday morning, the latest polls have Mr Fetterman and Dr Oz within a percentage point of each other. Both candidates wore big smiles as they turned out to vote for themselves.

While the Senate race is a toss-up, pollsters are more confident with predictions about the Pennsylvania governorship, in which Democrat Josh Shapiro is favoured to beat Republican Doug Mastriano.

Seventeen districts will also pick a representative for the House.
