"Midterm Election Games: Both Parties Playing Favorites in Bid for Victory As the US midterm elections draw near, a surprising trend has emerged: both Republicans and Democrats are secretly working to boost the chances of weaker rivals in key battleground states.

By doing so, Republicans and Democrats are essentially playing a high-stakes game of electoral chess, where the ultimate goal is to gain control of Congress. But will this unorthodox tactic pay off, or will it ultimately backfire and leave both parties with a weaker hand?"
Republicans and Democrats have both employed tactics to boost weaker rivals ahead of US midterm elections.
