Trump’s Team Ahead In US Mid-Term Elections: Washington, November 9 (H.S.): Former President Donald Trump’s Republican Party is ahead in the American midterm elections. Preliminary results from Tuesday’s vote show Republicans leading the House and Senate.
The citizens of the country expressed their opinion about the performance of the president through the mid-term elections. That’s the rule there. Losing this vote reduces the power of the president. Joe Biden came to power after defeating Donald Trump on January 20, 2021. In this situation, elections were held in 35 of the 435 seats in the US House of Representatives and 100 seats in the Senate on Tuesday local time. In addition to the two chambers of the US Congress, the House of Representatives and the Senate, the race for the governor’s seat is underway in several places. Voting is also underway in three dozen governorship elections.
Biden may lose some of his power in this election. Because former President Donald Trump’s Republican Party is ahead in the polls. Early results show Republicans leading the House and Senate. Meanwhile, Florida Republican leader Ron DeSantis is believed to have defeated Democratic candidate Charlie Crist in the gubernatorial race. And in the Senate, Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and senior Republican leader John Thune were re-elected.
Currently, the Republican Party is ahead in the results of the House of Representatives elections. They secured victory in 170 seats. And Joe Biden’s Democratic Party got 114 seats. A total of 218 seats are required to capture control of the House.
However, there is a fierce fight for the possession of the Senate. Right now, Republicans are ahead with 46 of the required 50 seats. And the Democrats have 45 seats.
Statistics show that in the Senate, Republicans control 46 seats and Democrats control 45 seats. And Trump’s party is ahead in the House of Representatives by 170-114 seats.
The Democratic Party currently controls the Senate with the tie-breaking vote of US Vice President Kamala Harris.
More than 46 million US voters had cast early ballots by mail or in person before Tuesday. An election official said that it will take a long time to count these votes.
Each state in the United States has two senators, who are elected for six-year terms. Representatives are elected for two-year terms and represent smaller districts.
Democrats have held majorities in the House of Representatives and the Senate for the past two years. This makes it easier for President Biden to pass any legislation. But if the Democrats lose their majority in Congress in the midterm elections, that chance will no longer exist. As a result, analysts believe that Biden will turn into a ‘toothless tiger’.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has already indicated that he will participate in the 2024 presidential election. He said on Monday (November 7) that he will make a big announcement next week. It is assumed that he will announce his candidacy in the presidential election. If Republicans win a majority in the midterm elections, Trump will become even stronger.
