The US midterm elections, which will choose the entire House of Representatives, a third of the Senate and 36 of the 50 governors, will be important for both the Democratic and Republican parties, including their 2028 presidential candidates. This was reported in a special analytical report of the Dobrevsky consulting agency, the text of which was provided to Iti.ru. In particular, the authors paid attention to races for state governors. For the United States, the regional elections play a special role - state leaders often skillfully oppose the president and his decisions, and for some of them, the position of governor can become a springboard to the White House. One of the biggest stories unfolded in Ohio. Pundits classify the state as heavily Republican, but a September poll gave Democrat Amy Acton 48 percent and her opponent Vivek Ramaswamy just 45 percent. The authors of the report assess the battle for this state as the future of the Republican Party.
