In federal midterm elections, voters choose

1. candidates who will run for president in the next election
2. new Justices to replace those who have retired
3. who will represent them in the House and Senate

Answer 1

Voters choose who will represent them in the House and Senate. The midterm elections are called that because they take place in the middle of the president's term. Candidates for the presidency are chosen in primaries, retired Justices are appointed by the president, and candidates for governor are also chosen by primaries.
