Democrats retain control of US Senate – media

Democrats won 50 Senate seats in the midterm elections, while Republicans won 49.

As a result of the midterm elections in the US, the Democratic Party will retain its majority in the US Senate, media predict.

So, CNN writes that this will be possible thanks to the victories of Democratic candidates in Nevada and Arizona.

“Democrats now have 50 seats in the Senate against 49 seats among Republicans,” the material said.

According to CNN forecasts, Nevada will re-elect Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, a former state prosecutor and attorney general. He defeated Republican Adam Laxalt, his successor as Attorney General and son and grandson of former senators.

And in Arizona, CNN predicts that Democratic Senator Mark Kelly, former astronaut and husband of former Rep. Gabriel Giffords, defeated Republican Blake Masters, a venture capitalist backed by Donald Trump and tech mogul and new GOP mega-donor Peter Thiel.

A predicted victory for Cortes Masto took the Democrats’ 50th seat in the Senate. The state of Georgia is set to hold a runoff on December 6 with Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock and Republican nominee Herschel Walker, neither of whom passed the 50 percent hurdle in the first round.

Until then, Vice President Kamala Harris will have a casting vote in the Senate. Even if Republicans win a runoff from Georgia, Vice President Kamala Harris will continue to throw a tie-breaking Senate to guarantee a Democratic majority.

Cortes Masto’s predicted victory, which would be decisive, was also reported by The Washington Post.

The publication notes that in the 2022 midterm elections, only one Senate seat changed hands: in Pennsylvania, where Democrat John Vetterman, campaigning while recovering from a stroke in May, defeated Republican Mehmet Oz, the famous doctor supported by Donald Trump.

In doing so, Republicans successfully defended seats in tight races in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, and Wisconsin, while Democrats retained their seats in competitive races in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and New Hampshire.

By winning the midterm elections, Democrats can approve President Joe Biden’s judicial nominations, as well as reject bills passed by the House of Representatives.

Remember that Republicans are willing to cut US aid to Ukraine next year if they win the midterm elections. This is what the leader of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, said.

US mid-term elections. Why this year they are more important than ever
