The midterm elections have come out, and the Republican midterm downfall is officially confirmed. Democrats win control of the US Senate, and the Democratic Party will keep control over the Senate for two more years. It has been four days since tens of millions of Americans went to the polls. Catherine Cortez Masto won the seat in Nevada late on Saturday, ultimately delivering a final result in the national political cold war.
The Democrats secured their seat in the upper chamber of the US Congress by 1 seat. The Republicans got 49 seats, whereas the Democrats got 50 seats in the upper chamber. In any case, if the Republicans win the leftover Senate race in Georgia, Kamala Harris, current Vice President, will be able to make a tie-breaking vote.
Democrats’ victory in the US Senate has opened up a way for President Joe Biden to spend two more years plugging the federal courts with his candidates and occupying his administration largely the way he anticipates it fit.
Most notably, the question here arises should a Supreme Court seat become unoccupied due to an unanticipated retirement or sudden death of a Justice, then also the Republicans wouldn’t be capable of chunk Mr. Biden’s choice. Democrats remember how Mitch McConnell, a Senate Majority Leader of the year 2016, didn’t let Barack Obama’s candidate from getting a hearing at all.
The Democrats’ great victory in Nevada depicts the Georgia Senate run-off on 6th December as no longer an important contest to decide control of the chamber. Current President Joe Biden said that it was very easy for the Democrats to get to 51 seats. The extra bolster undoubtedly makes it easier to control a majority, and it will also assist in 2024 when the party has more danger to protect the seats.
There is still a possibility, though not confirmed that the Republicans will take control over a slim majority in the House of Representatives. It would bring a majority of headaches for the President.
His legislative plan is no longer working, and more antagonistic Republicans are in store. However, it still has a silver lining- if his political contenders are not able to effectively control it just because of the internal strife.
The results of this history-flouting midterm election are still to come out.
Donald Trump’s political future seems in danger, though it would be very interesting to see how long it will last. Joe Biden’s standing by his party has been boosted. The political scenario of the USA is looking quite different than it was just a week before as the Democrats win control of the US Senate.
