For those in a hurry, the 4 states (in addition to NC) are:

-Georgia

Congress is officially in recess.

After a long slog to pass President Donald Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” a drawn-out fight about nominees and an impasse on how to handle the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune cut the House and Senate loose to go back to their homes and constituents.

August recesses are incredibly useful times for lawmakers because they allow them to not only sell their legislative accomplishments, but gauge what the vibe will be like in the upcoming midterm election.

But Republicans have their work cut out for them. Midterms are always a referendum on the president and how unhappy voters are with him. Just ask Bill Clinton after 1994, George W. Bush after 2006, Barack Obama after 2010 and 2014 and, well, Trump after 2018.

Each time, the party outside of the White House flipped at least one chamber.
