If the Republicans retained the majority in the House of Representatives, and in the event of their champion's victory in the presidential election, the Trump camp would concentrate all powers for two years.

Nebraska Senator, Republican Deb Fischer, managed to retain her Senate seat against independent candidate Dan Osborn, said The World this Wednesday, January 6, after confirmation of the results by the Associated Press.

Majority found

This victory allows the Republicans to win the majority in the Senate. They now hold 51 seats, compared to 49 for the Democrats, and the gap could further widen overnight, the daily also estimated.

Republican Bernie Moreno had previously shown the way, winning the election in Ohio, and thus flipping a previously Democratic seat. This was a favorable and major signal for the Donald Trump camp, in its quest to regain the majority in the Senate.

All powers to the Republicans?

After a particularly close race, Bernie Moreno, a 57-year-old former car dealer born in Colombia, narrowly beat Democrat Sherrod Brown, in office since 2007.

If Donald Trump were elected, and if his camp also managed to keep control of the House of Representatives, the Republicans would then concentrate all powers in their hands for two years, until the next mid-term elections.
