Crystal Ball Outlook: Leans R
Democratic candidate: Earl Pomeroy, Incumbent
Republican candidate: Rick Berg
Recent updates from the Crystal Ball
Background:
Democratic incumbent Earl Pomeroy will face Republican challenger Rick Berg in a race to win a 10th term as North Dakota’s Representative-at-Large. Pomeroy serves on the House Ways and Means and the Agriculture committees. Also, he has voted 97.6% with his party during the current Congress.
Although Pomeroy does have his party’s support and a large financial advantage over Berg, he remains vulnerable to the current anti-incumbent mood throughout the country. If Berg is able to make a case to voters and gain more financial and political support, the race should remain close. For now, this race Leans Republican.
