New problem

Early voting has already started in plenty of states. Already 2 million votes have been cast a new record. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.129.85.52 (talk) 19:16, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Map changes

The map needs to be updated, as 2016 Louisiana race was won by a Republican. GoodDay (talk) 07:24, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Incumbent President is not known yet.

Currently Donald J. Trump is President and should be listed as such until sworn in for 4 more years or opposition is sworn in. BeardedZZ (talk) 02:48, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Puerto Rico

There is no need for PR to be part of this. There is no mid term election in PR. The people of PR do not vote for Democrats or Republicans. The politics in the island are different than in the states. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:800C:3942:1D00:2C6E:3DA7:C3DE:672C (talk) 01:46, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect Request

Would it be possible to set it up so that searching "2022 Midterm Elections," redirects to this page? I feel like that would make things easier for a number of people. MrJ567 (talk) 19:26, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Estimates of outcomes?

Are there any reliable predictions currently available that we may want to mention? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.148.183.22 (talk) 18:11, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Most credible projections suggest the Senate will be close, the house will also be close. with the governor races tied. My projections depend exclusively on turnout. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:9F0:D140:E036:977A:9884:6998 (talk) 07:51, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Issues section probably could use a serious look/rewrite

I tend to think that it has way too many subsections, it relies too heavily on extremely finnicky things like issue polling, and doesn't give enough space to how parties are actually campaigning. The issues sections in the 2018/2020 articles are probably decent models to follow - both focus on the actual campaigning emphases of both parties, and they're way tighter (no longer than 3 paragraphs, not split into subsections with two-lines of content. Obviously it's a pretty significant shift and I'm new so I'd rather suggest and try to get a consensus than totally rewrite the section by myself.

Article Title

Was there a discussion before moving this page to 2022 United States midterm elections? All the other articles in this series (Category:General elections in the United States) use just "elections", not "midterm elections." Beyond that, while the federal elections are considered midterm in relation to the presidency, those aren't the only elections covered on this page, many of which aren't midterms (gubernatorial, municipal, tribal, etc.). — Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 12:45, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia section

I skimmed through Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trivia sections and to my understanding this should be removed? Not sure but I haven't noticed anyone else talking about this Ocemccool (talk) 13:41, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's not really trivia; it's a relevant fact about the election cycle. Because it's talking about spending in state and federal elections together, it might best fit in the lead or as part of the Campaign section. Ideally it would also be sourced to a secondary source, not a press release. WP:TRIVIA usually is dealing with things like "The 2022 midterm elections were mentioned in such-and-such movie." — Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 13:59, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Charts to show possibility of majority?

Concerns of Bias

"Following trends since 2012, minority voters, particularly those who were working class or Hispanic, moved towards the Republicans, while affluent and college-educated whites overwhelmingly moved towards the Democratic Party."

Might as well say... uneducated Hispanics voted GOP and smart college adults voted Democrat... seems biased. Could this be phrased better? Michael-Moates (talk) 15:42, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
