Elections
The US general elections will be held on November 5 of this year. In the federal government, the offices of the president, vice president, all 435 seats of the House of Representatives, and roughly one third of the Senate. In this year's presidential election, Joe Biden is eligible to run for a second term. With former president Donald Trump's declaration to run for the office again, the election may possibly be a rematch of the 2020 election, although the indictment of Donald Trump may have a significant impact on Trump's presidential campaign. In the Senate, at least three seats, those of Senators Dianne Feinstein from California,[lower-alpha 1] Mike Braun from Indiana,[lower-alpha 2] and Debbie Stabenow from Michigan,[lower-alpha 1] will be open contests.[1][2][3]
Concerning state governments, 11 states and 2 territories will hold gubernatorial elections, and most states and territories will hold elections for their legislatures. Many major cities, including Baltimore, Las Vegas, Honolulu, Milwaukee, Miami, Phoenix, San Diego, and San Francisco will also elect their mayors.
