US:Democratic party has retained its majority...
The ruling Democratic party has once again won a majority in the US Senate. After winning the 50th seat in Nevada in the US Midterm elections, it has been decided that Joe Biden's party will continue to dominate. The Republican party, which is hoping for a majority in the Senate, has suffered a major setback. However, there is still uncertainty about the majority in the house of Representatives. Only Georgia's results are yet to come for the Senate, which will prove the lead to be decisive. Let us tell you that there are a total of 100 seats in the US Senate.
With the victory of senator Catherine Cortez Masto in Nevada, the Democratic party has 50 seats in the 100-member Senate and its majority remains intact. Masto's victory is a setback for the Republican party, which was confident of defeat. Senate leader of the house Chuck Schumer claimed victory saturday night. He posted, 'Most for the Democratic party in the Senate.' After the results of Nevada, georgia is now the only state left, where the contest is still going on between the two parties. Voting was held on november 8 for the two houses of the US congress (parliament), the Senate and the house of Representatives.
Joe Biden showed his mettle
US President Joe Biden is emerging as the first president in American history to lose the fewest seats in a midterm election. Republicans and Democrats both got 49 seats and needed one seat to win. This seat could have come from Arizona or california or Nevada or georgia runoff. Democrats have snatched one seat from Republicans in the Senate. Democrats had a good chance of winning the run-off in georgia, where senator Pastor Raphael Warnock is well ahead of anti-abortion activist Herschel Walker.
The general trend in midterm elections is that the incumbent president always loses, but Biden denies this. So far, he has not lost a seat, but has only gained one in the Senate. He has lost only 11 seats in the house of Representatives. Democrats have now won 199 seats in the house of Representatives and Republicans have got 211 seats.
