Democratic Party ranked 50th in Senate from USA and retains control of the body, achieving a decisive victory until the end of the reign Biden.
Four days after the midterm elections, US media reported that Democratic Senator Katherine Cortez Masto narrowly defeated her Republican opponent Adam Laxalt (backed by former US President Donald Trump) in the key state of Nevada.
As a result of the re-election of Cortes Masto, the number of Democrats elected to the Senate has reached 50 people. Regardless of the outcome of the Georgia runoff on Dec. 6, the Democrats have already gained control of the Senate. And that’s because when a group of 100 members splits right down the middle (50 Democrats, 50 Republicans), the vote of US Vice President Kamala Harris is the one to break the Gordian Thread in the event of a tie.
Republicans have not confirmed forecasts of a “red wave” in the midterm elections, traditionally unfavorable for the ruling party. However, they will win a majority in the House of Representatives, creating headwinds for the Biden administration.
However, the Republican majority in the House of Representatives is expected to be smaller than projected before the midterm elections. NBC predicted a narrow five-seat majority of 220 Republicans to 215 Democrats.
Biden satisfaction
US President Joe Biden of Cambodia, where he attends the annual US-ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and East Asia summit, has made no secret of his satisfaction with the Democrats retaining control of the Senate.
Speaking to reporters after Catherine Cortes Mesto’s victory over Adam Laxalt, President Biden said, “I feel good and look forward to the next two years.” Now the Republicans must decide “who they are,” he added.
Attention, President Biden said, is now on the December 6 Senate runoff in Georgia, which will be the 51st for the Democrats if Raphael Warnock defeats Republican Herchel Walker.
However, the Democrats have already secured control of the Senate. And that’s because if a group of 100 members is split right down the middle (50 Democrats, 50 Republicans), the vote of US Vice President Kamala Harris is the one to break the Gordian Thread in the event of a tie.
Bob Menendez remains chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations
The fact that Democrats retain control of the Senate allows Robert Menendez to remain chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, Hellenic American Leadership Council (HALC) executive director Eddie Zemenidis said in a post.
and let’s not forget that with the victory in Nevada tonight, Senator Menendez is back as chairman of the foreign relations committee.
