Control of the Senate remained in the hands of the Democrats after the midterm elections on USAas they secured the 50th seat with Katherine Cortez Masto’s narrow victory in Nevada over Donald Trump-backed Adam Laxalt.
Cortes Masto’s re-election brings to 50 the number of Democrats elected to the Senate. Regardless of its outcome rematch on December 6 for home Georgia, Democrats have already secured control of the Senate. And that’s because when the 100-member body is split right down the middle (50 Democrats, 50 Republicans), the vote of US Vice President Kamala Harris is the one that breaks the “Gordian tie” in cases of a tie.
Republicans did not confirm predictions of a “red wave” in the midterm elections, which are traditionally unfavorable for the governing party. However, they will win the majority in the House of Representativesputting obstacles in the way of the Biden administration.
The Republican majority in the House of Representatives is expected to be smaller than expected, however. before the midterm elections. The NBC network predicted a fragile five-seat majority, with 220 Republicans vs. 215 Democrats.
