Democratic leaders say their party would take control of both chambers of Congress if the midterm elections were held now, according to 연합뉴스TV. The party is expressing confidence about the November vote, with KBS News reporting the same assessment of Democratic prospects in the House and Senate.
Republicans are pushing back on that outlook. According to v.daum.net, GOP figures say they could hold as many as 225 House seats and argue there are no signs of a "blue wave" building against them.
Beyond the horse-race numbers, Democrats are signaling what a victory would mean in practice. 연합뉴스 reports the party has said it would investigate former President Donald Trump's family if it wins, and that it is gathering material that could serve as grounds for impeachment.
Public opinion on the economy may shape the race. 연합인포맥스 reports that roughly three-quarters of Americans believe Trump's tariffs have driven prices higher, and that a large share expect the issue to weigh heavily on the midterm elections.
The competing claims from both parties come as the campaign heads toward voting day, with each side presenting a different reading of the same electorate.
What to watch next: whether polling and early results bear out the Democratic claim of a dual-chamber sweep, or the Republican prediction of a narrower House map.
