    • With the United States midterm elections around the corner, the Republican Party hopes to make major gains in races for the governorship of various states. Currently Democrats hold 26 governorships and the Republicans hold 24 governorships. Reports noted that the balance may shift, “perhaps markedly, with Republicans holding the upper hand in many of this year’s 37 races, including those in crucial political battlegrounds”1 According to reports, in the event the Democrats losing the control of the House of Representatives, it would essentially lead to the Democrats having to curtail their legislative agendas. Maryland Representative, Chris Van Hollen stated that “It may well be the case that there are some issues that we would have gotten passed last time that would not be able to pass this time.”2
