As the midterm elections get closer, we will start to see much more visibility on specific candidates and states.

Joe Biden is not popular. One year before the 2024 election, the 80-year-old commander in chief has a meager 39 percent approval rating, the worst since Jimmy Carter, who went on to lose reelection by a landslide.
