Republican Vivek Ramaswamy (left) and Democrat Dr. Amy Acton will face each other in the November election to become Ohio's next governer.

We're less than a month away from the midterm elections.

With Democrats surging in the polls and the possibility of dependably red areas voting blue, could the Democrats take both the House and the Senate?
