Multiple congressional special elections are already on tap for 2021.
No sooner will a new Congress convene in early January than it will likely lose three House Democrats to Joe Bidenâs administration, triggering crowded contests to succeed them.
Biden nominated Marcia Fudge (Ohio) as secretary of Housing and Urban Development and Deb Haaland (N.M.) as Interior secretary, and he named Cedric Richmond (La.) a senior adviser to him and director of public engagement. Fudge and Haalandâs appointments require Senate confirmation, and all three resignations early in the 117th Congress will set the election schedule in motion.
