Republicans close to the majority in the United States House of Representatives

Republicans came close to gaining a majority in the US House of Representatives early Thursday morning as Senate control was undecided, two days after Democrats avoided a “red wave” in midterm elections.

And Republicans have raised their share in the House of Representatives to 210 seats, where they have only 8 seats left to wrest the majority from the Democrats, giving them a chance to stop Democratic President Joe Biden’s legislative acts.

However, a Reuters analysis based on forecasts by leading impartial pollsters confirms that 33 of the 53 most competitive races are undecided, increasing the possibility that the final outcome will remain unknown for some time.

According to CNN monitoring, Democrats have – so far – 191 of the 218 seats needed for a majority and control of the House of Representatives.

In the Senate election, it was not confirmed that the two major parties were close in the United States with close results in some states, in notably Nevada and Arizona, while Georgia went to the ballot on December 6.

The Washington Post said it could take weeks to figure out which party gets the most Senate seats.

The Democratic Party’s ability to maintain a slim majority in the Senate depends on hundreds of thousands of uncounted ballots in Nevada between Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and her Republican challenger, Adam Laxalt, as well as Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly and Republican Blake Masters.

Biden pledged at a White House press conference to work with Republicans and said he understood voters were disappointed despite the performance surprise of the Democrats.

Historically, the ruling party has suffered heavy losses in the prime mid-term presidential elections, but Democrats managed to avoid the crushing defeat Republicans expected.

Preliminary results Tuesday indicated that voters were resentful of the largest inflation in the United States in 40 years, while voters have also criticized Republican efforts to ban abortion and have put in discussing the country’s vote-counting process.

Biden described the election as a test of American democracy in one moment in which hundreds of Republican candidates have embraced Trump’s allegations that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

On Wednesday, President Biden announced that American voters had sent a “clear and unambiguous message” of wanting to preserve democracy and abortion rights, but acknowledged voters’ frustration with high inflation and government dysfunction.

Speaking in A long press conference at the White House, Biden assessed the election that went surprisingly well for his party, saying he had lost fewer seats in the House than any Democratic president in his prime mid-term elections since John F. Kennedy.
