Not surprisingly, the US Congressional elections, which run parallel to the presidential elections, allow Democrats to defend their majority in the House of Representatives. They are also successful in the Senate. Meanwhile, Republicans have a new troubled son.
According to a projection by the television station Fox News, the Democrats defended their majority in the House of Representatives in the US elections, as expected. It was more exciting that night with the second House of Congress, the Senate. There, Democrat John Hickenlooper Edison Research ousted Republican President Cory Gardner. So far, Republicans in the Senate have a slim majority of 53 out of 100 seats.
Before the elections, 14 seats were considered to be in dispute, so the outcome may not be clear for a while. With control of the entire Congress, even if incumbent Donald Trump wins the presidential election, Democrats could heavily block Republican policies. In addition to the President, the entire House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate are also eligible.
Meanwhile, Republicans in the House of Representatives will have to grapple in the future with a conspiracy theory supporter QAnon in their ranks. Candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene, unsurprisingly, won a Georgia state seat. The central claim of QAnon supporters is that there is a conspiracy against US President Donald Trump in the deepest layers of the US government apparatus.
They also often claim that prominent politicians in the Democratic Party in the United States have been treated with hormones made from children’s blood. Several Republican leaders have condemned QAnon’s theories. President Donald Trump struggled with that on several occasions and expressly endorsed Greene.
In the House of Representatives, which is fully up for vote, Democrats hold a majority of 232 out of 435 seats so far. 218 votes are required for a majority. First, the Democrats were able to win a seat in the forecast results.
