Will Republicans Take The House in 2022?
The chance that the Republicans will be able to take the House of Representatives in 2022 is too far in the future to predict. Various factors affect a party's ability to win a majority in the House such as sitting President at the time, party favorability, attitude toward passing laws, and so on. While the Republicans lost the House in the 2018 Midterm elections, it is impossible to determine with they will regain their majority in the House in the 2022 Midterm elections. However, some pundits believe the GOP will retake the House in 2020, and if they do, retaining it in 2022 should be an easier proposition.
Will The Republicans Keep the Senate 2022?
At this moment in time, it is too early to assume the position the Republicans will hold in the Senate. The upcoming 2022 Midterm elections are too far away, and with factors affecting the Republican hold on the Senate (such as the 2020 Presidential election, state of the union, and laws passed), it is hard to accurately predict whether the Republicans will keep the Senate in 2022. If they manage to keep or grow their majority in 2020, the GOP will have an edge on retaining the Senate in the 2022 midterms.
Is Donald Trump Getting Impeached?
Trump was already impeached once (Dec. 2019 - Feb. 2020) and acquitted of all charges on a straight party line vote. However, the Democrats are likely not finished testing the impeachment waters, and our impeachment odds page goes into detail what has to happen before a sitting President is removed from office. Trump could well become the first ever US President to be impeached multiple times, especially if the Democrats keep the House in 2020. He may even be impeached three or more times!
Other Types of Republican Odds To Bet On
There are numerous other party related betting lines available. Keeping the House and Senate are not the only Republican odds that are circulating. You can place a bet on which party will win the popular vote, which party will have the most voters turn out, which party will win the Presidency, Vice President odds, which party will win the most states, and so on. The odds offered seem to change daily, so be sure to compare lines at our State Electoral College odds page.
