I’m not from Texas but hoping a miracle happens and Beto wins.. Also, Democrats should take the house easily.

Can Americans explain to me the purpose of these elections? I am hearing about them everywhere but I don't know what they are for?

Today we vote for midterms (Every house congress seat is up for grabs, about ⅓ of senate congress seats and then a host of other state positions (governors, state congress, justices, etc). It varies, but the main theme is if enough democrats will actually vote to tell the country we hate Trump and disavow every evil he commits. Hopefully, taking the House back and maybe even the Senate too if the stars align and I also win the lottery.

Hopefully we have some blue come in, though I’m keeping going my expectations in check, and I’m not hoping on taking the House. 

But I can hope.
