On November 4th, local time, several American media reports predicted that the Democratic Party in the United States would gain control of the Senate. Earlier, American media had predicted that the Democrats would take control of the House of Representatives. This means that after these mid-term elections, the Democratic Party will regain control of the U.S. Congress.
As of now, predictions by The Hill show that the Democrats have secured 220 House seats, which represents more than half of the total. CNN has not released the actual results, but its current forecast indicates that the Democrats have a significant lead over the Republicans, with 205 seats to 116.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffers is expected to become the next Speaker of the House and the first black speaker in this position. On the evening of November 3rd, Jeffers gave a speech promising to reduce living costs, reverse the cuts to Medicaid, and hold accountable those responsible for corruption.
This is a revolutionary election," he said, "We need to bring about profound change. The present state has been shattered. America has returned... Today, the great American renaissance begins."
Jeffries added, ‘This is not a moment for partisanship, but a moment of patriotism; this is a moment of red, white, and blue, because tonight America has won.’
Trump stated that he would accept the results of tonight's election and “is ready to work with the Democrats, and there may be some agreements made.” He temporarily denied any claims that he would question the outcome of this election.
Earlier, after it was predicted that the Democrats would take control of the U.S. House of Representatives, a White House official said that the White House internally disagreed with this situation. Officials stated that the election results would not weaken Trump’s determination to counter the “radical left,” and warned Democrats to “fasten their seat belts.” At the same time, the official also questioned the competence of some Republican candidates, suggesting that Trump did a better job promoting his candidates than the candidates themselves.
