I’m Greg Giroux, a senior political reporter for Bloomberg Government. AMA about Tuesday's elections for Congress!

Posted: 30 Oct 2020 10:29 AM PDT

I report for Bloomberg Government on the 2020 U.S. House and Senate elections from Washington, D.C. I also co-host BGOV's Downballot Counts podcast, write profiles of members of Congress, and analyze congressional voting behavior and money in politics. I've been with Bloomberg for more than 10 years, and before that I worked as a political reporter at CQ.

Election Day on Tuesday is just around the corner! The presidential race is getting the lion's share of attention, but there are many other consequential elections including for the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and state legislatures. The election will have implications for how states redraw political district lines in 2021.

So what would you like to know? Will the Democrats sweep by winning control of the presidency and the Senate and keeping their majority in the House? Can Republicans keep their Senate majority? Which Senate and House races appear to be the most competitive? Is there a Senate or House election you want to know more about? Off of reddit, you can find me on Twitter @greggiroux
