GOP seizes momentum in battle for Congress

Republicans are growing more and more optimistic that they will seize majorities in the House and Senate as a series of polls provides momentum for the party, while stubborn inflation numbers hurt President Biden and Democrats.

The GOP has long been confident in taking back control of the House, an outcome forecasted by numerous election analysts.

But Republicans are now feeling better about the size of their potential victory in the House — and for their chances in the Senate, which has consistently been seen as a tighter affair.
