The two parties are heading into neck-and-neck races next year to control all three levers of elected power in Washington—the House, the Senate and the presidency.
That isn’t often the case.
Until 1995, Democrats held the House majority for 40 years, with an average margin of more than 80 seats.
They won the Senate majority in 1954 and retained it until the 1980 election.
This year, the Democrats’ hold on the Senate and the Republican majority in the House are both at risk, while polls point to a close race for the White House.
