\"Control
\n<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Democrats have held both chambers of Congress and\u00a0the presidency\u00a0for the last two years, but they may not have such consolidated power for much longer.<\/p>\n

Republicans are favored to win the House in\u00a0the Nov. 8 midterm elections, bolstered by frustration over\u00a0the economy\u00a0and advantages in\u00a0the redistricting process\u00a0that takes place every 10 years. But Democrats are working to hold their ground, campaigning on maintaining\u00a0access to abortion\u00a0and other issues.<\/p>\n

The outlook is murkier in the Senate, where Republicans are bidding to take back control. Several races in key battleground states are tight, leading Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell to say the chances of his party winning a majority are just 50-50.<\/p>\n

A look at control of Congress and what will happen if Republicans win a majority in either chamber in the election:<\/p>\n

WHAT IF THE HOUSE FLIPS?<\/p>\n

Democrats, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have\u00a0held the majority since 2018, when they won control in\u00a0then-President Donald Trump\u2019s first midterm election. Republicans could take back the House if they net just five seats in dozens of competitive districts, and they are trying to win dozens.<\/p>\n
