8 Races to Watch on Midterm Election Day 2022

It’s Election Day once again in the U.S. As millions of Americans head to the polls, here are eight races to watch throughout the day.

1. Michigan Governor Race: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vs. Tudor Dixon 

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, is facing Republican challenger Tudor Dixon in Tuesday’s gubernatorial election. 

Whitmer won the governorship in 2018 after defeating Republican state Attorney General Bill Schuette with 53.3% of the vote, CNN reported.  

“Inspired by her family, she’s devoted her life to public service, governed through unprecedented, colliding crises, and remains focused on working with anyone to get things done that will make a difference in people’s lives,” Whitmer’s campaign website says. 

Some of Whitmer’s priorities include the “economy and jobs” as well as “access to safe and legal abortion” and “education,” according to her website.

“Governor Whitmer is focused on getting things done that will make a difference in people’s lives right now,” her campaign website said.
