We preview the Week Ahead in Washington as Election Day looms on Tuesday, with the midterms shaping up to decide all 435 House seats, 35 Senate seats, and governor races in 36 states.

A central focus in the oral arguments is St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy, which asks whether excluding a Catholic preschool from Colorado’s universal preschool program constitutes religious discrimination, with arguments set for November 3.

Beyond elections, the Supreme Court will kick off its November oral arguments, running from November 2 through November 10 across five days for a total of seven hours.

The battleground is clear: Republicans aim to hold the Senate and the House, while Democrats seek to flip both chambers, with pivotal contests in Texas, Michigan, and Alaska viewed as toss-ups in the polls.
