nearly 12 million voters across the country have already cast their ballots for the critical midterm elections. more than 4 million of those ballots have been turned in throughout florida, california, georgia, and texas. the candidates are facing off in some of the final debates of the campaign season after the highly anticipated showdown in pennsylvania. john fetterman released a new ad criticizing mehmet oz s response to abortion. oz barely mentioned the debate during a gcampaign event in the last hour and says he focused largely on crime. in a race to control congress, both sides are narrowing to the most competitive races. new money is being injected from both sides as well, a sign of just how high the stakes are in these midterms. our cnn editor joins us now. where do things stand for the battle for the control of the bo what we re looking at. let s go to the map broadly. i m going to write on this. there are 35 seats up. 21 of those are republican. 14 are democrat. fu
