Wednesday’s results showed that Sullivan led Gross by 20 percentage points.

The Chairman of the Senate National Republican Committee (NRSC) and US Senator Todd Young congratulated Sullivan on his successful re-election. He said in a statement: “Alaskans know that Dan Sullivan is a man who always prioritizes service (to people) over himself. He championed Alaska’s unique needs in Washington.”

This United States general election is not just the election of the president of the United States, but all 35 seats in the Federal Senate and all seats in the House of Representatives must be re-elected.

There are a total of 100 seats in the Senate. So far, Republicans have 50 seats and Democrats have 48 seats. Two seats are still pending. These two seats will be selected in two elections in Georgia on January 5.

Republicans now only need to win one of the elections to maintain control of the Senate.

In this Congress, the Republican Party has control of the Senate with an advantage of 53 to 47.

If the Democratic Party wins both games in Georgia, the Senate will form a 50-50 pattern. The Vice President of the United States, as Speaker of the Senate, will break the tie.

In two games in Georgia, current Republican Senator David Perdue (David Perdue) will compete with Democrat Jon Ossoff; incumbent Republican Senator Kelly Lowe Kelly Loeffler will compete with Democrat Raphael Warnock.

Both Republican senators declared that they must be reelected to prevent the Democrats from gaining enough power to implement their “socialist agenda.”

Sen. Loveller said she is ready to face the challenge of Democrat Rafael Warnock.

Senator Perdue’s campaign manager Ben Fry said in a statement: “To vote for Jon Osoff is to vote for Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats in Washington.”

“It is clear that more Georgians believe that David Perdue’s positive vision for the future direction of our country is better than Chuck Schumer’s radical socialist agenda.”
