American Congress
The Republican Party is one seat away from an absolute majority in the upper house of Congress, after winning an additional Senate seat on Wednesday with his party’s victory in Alaska.
Outgoing Senator Dan Sullivan easily won a new state for Alaska with 57 percent of the vote, according to estimates from CNN and NBC.
With Sullivan’s victory in the elections, which were held on November 3 in conjunction with the presidential election, which Democrat Joe Biden won, the Republican Party will have won half of the House seats.
Based on current results, Democrats won 48 seats in the 100-member Senate.
There are still two unresolved seats in the state of Georgia that will be contested by Democratic and Republican candidates in a runoff on January 5 after neither of them can win 50 percent of the vote in the election.
And if the Democrats manage to win these two seats, then the Senate is divided into 50 Republican and 50 Democratic senators, but Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, who is given by the constitution by virtue of her position as Speaker of the Senate, can attend any session you want and vote in it to tip your party.
And no law can be passed in the United States if it is not approved by the Senate, and the president cannot appoint any minister, ambassador or judge if this appointment is not approved by the Senate.
If Republicans can retain their majority in the Senate, then incoming President Joe Biden, who has held a House seat for 36 years, must use all his communication and negotiation skills to compromise with his Republican opponents.
With the Republicans’ victory in Alaska, Trump gets an additional 3 votes in the presidential electoral college, but that doesn’t change anything about Biden winning the presidency.
Biden obtained the votes of 279 important voters of the 538 that make up the presidential electoral college, while Trump, with Alaska, obtained 217 votes.
