The impending US Midterm Elections 2022 will play a vital role in defining politics in the country for the next few years. Midterm Elections happen halfway through the term of a President. Since the last Presidential Elections happened in 2020, the Midterms are happening in 2022. Members of the House of Representatives only have a term of two years, so all the members of 435 seats are re-elected.

Simultaneously, there are separate elections for governors and other local officials. This year, the polling is scheduled to be held on November 8. These elections are an assessment of the current administration. Amidst the petrol price rises and inflation, there are very bleak chances of Biden's administration getting a good response. However, US President Joe Biden has not officially announced that he will run for re-election but has said he wishes to participate.
