Welcome to 'Trail Buzz'
What could be one of the most consequential midterm elections in recent history has seen an equally dogged primary cycle. Republicans and Democrats are sparring over every seat in the House of Representatives, 35 Senate seats and 36 governorships.
The stakes could not be higher with the ups and downs of the Biden presidency, the growing investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection, the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade abortion rights and inflation running at historic highs. Candidates who support Donald Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen will appear on ballots in nearly every state in November.
ABC News has seven reporters embedded in key swing states across the country so readers can get on-the-ground accounts of what candidates are doing and voters are saying.
