Midterms House poll tracker: The 10 races you need to know about

The Independent and Daily Wire both preview the November midterms, one looking at the House and the other at the Senate, and each describes control of Congress as closely contested. The Independent notes that Republicans enter with 219 caucus members and Democrats with 214, plus two vacancies, so a shift of four seats would flip the chamber. It adds that Donald Trump is deeply unpopular and that voters rank affordability first, with tariffs and the war in Iran pushing up diesel and fertilizer costs, according to Daily Wire · The Independent.

On individual House contests, The Independent describes Colorado's 8th District, where Democrat Manny Rutinel is raising more than Republican Rep. Gabe Evans and outside groups have spent $14 million for Democrats against $13 million for Republicans. In Florida, it says Rep. Jared Moskowitz is contesting a redrawn seat against Scott Singer. In Iowa, Christina Bohannan is trying a third time against Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks.

Daily Wire, focused on the Senate, says Democrats lead the generic ballot yet the chamber could turn on thousands of votes. It points to Texas, where James Talarico is narrowly ahead of Ken Paxton, and Michigan, where Abdul El-Sayed faces Mike Rogers after Haley Stevens switched her endorsement to Rogers.
