A Republican majority in either chamber would doom Democratic priorities like climate change, voting rights and abortion access.
And the remaining pieces of Biden's signature "Build Back Better" framework would likely meet a similar fate.
"Biden is uniquely qualified to pass bipartisan legislation if that's necessary," he said. "He's done it before.""The biggest challenge that both the president and the Democrats in Congress are going to face is going to be the extreme, dangerous Republican caucus," Craig Varoga, a Democratic strategist, told ABC News.
And if Republicans take over the Senate, they could block Biden's judicial nominees, who need a majority vote to be confirmed. Other potential investigations would likely target COVID-19 policies, the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and the handling of the southern border. Some GOP lawmakers have already proposed impeaching Biden as well as Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Attorney General Merrick Garland.
One ABC News/Washington Post poll conducted in late September found that 56% of Democrats and independents that tend to vote for Democrats said they wanted "someone other than Biden" to run in the next presidential election.
