The outcome of the midterm elections on November 8 will determine which party will hold power in Congress during President Biden's final two years in office. We'll walk you through the election cycle on this page and bring you the most important campaign-trail news.
President Biden will make a campaign stop in Florida, a crucial swing state, later today to support Charlie Crist, the Democratic candidate for governor.
In a closely watched contest, Republican-turned-Democratic candidate Charlie Crist will face off against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is considering a 2024 presidential run.
Republicans and some journalists have referred to DeSantis as "Trump 2.0" or "Trump with substance."
He’s become very popular among Republicans for his stance on Covid-19 restrictions, immigration, and the so-called "culture wars".
Biden and DeSantis have previously clashed over pandemic policies, climate change, abortion, and LGBT issues.
Florida's governor was also recently accused of "weaponizing" the migration crisis for political gain when he arranged for a group of mostly Venezuelan asylum seekers to be flown from Texas to Martha's Vineyard, a liberal enclave in Massachusetts.
