Control of House and Senate has flipped often in midterms
Original: House and Senate control has flipped often in midterms since 1990
News outlets across the United States are highlighting a historical pattern: since 1990, control of the House and Senate has frequently changed hands in midterm elections. The reminder comes as voters weigh whether the president's party will lose seats, a common outcome in modern midterms. Commentators note the pattern suggests divided government has become the norm rather than the exception in American politics.
Why now: Attention is focused on whether upcoming midterm elections will follow the historical trend of the president's party losing congressional control.
