The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, came out in the morning, Norwegian time, and declared that the Democrats keep the majority in the house.
– I am proud to say that we have held on well to the House of Representatives, Pelosi said in a short statement.
– It’s not just about quantity, it’s about quality. That we are present in Congress for the people.
Very even
In the Senate, where Democrats hoped to regain power after six years with a Republican majority, it appears for now that it will be as harrowing a fight as the presidential election itself.
Opinion polls a week before the election showed that Democrats wanted to secure a narrow majority with 51 senators.
The Senate currently has 53 Republicans and 47 Democrats, including two independents.
Wednesday morning, however, appears to be a dead race, as he awaits the results of the last few states.
According to Politico, the final result will be long overdue. In Georgia, where there are two elections this year, it may take until January before the final result is ready.
McConnell secured the place
Democrats hoped to win Senate seats in Colorado, Arizona, Maine, North Carolina and Iowa to secure a majority in both houses.
At the polls, before the election, they were well positioned to fill Senate seats in Colorado and Arizona.
In the old state, Democratic Rep. John Hickenlooper defeated incumbent Republican Senator Cory Gardner by a wide margin. In Arizona, the end result is unclear, but the preliminary tally indicates that Democrats are in the best position.
It was in the days leading up to the election, too long even in South Carolina, that Trump’s close ally, Lindsey Graham, was challenged by Democrat Jamie Harrison. But Graham came back strong on election night and secured re-election.
The Iowa Senate is also failing to win over the Democrats. Republican Joni Ernst is sitting like this.
In Alabama, Republicans have also managed to regain control.
Democrats are failing to topple Kentucky Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
McConnell, 78, is the oldest Republican leader in Senate history.
When 97 percent of the votes were counted, the result shows that McConnell retains the seat by a good margin.
