With the results of the American elections decided in a number of states and the end of counting in the states of Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and Trump’s lead by 51% compared to 47% for Harris, the Republican Party won the majority in the Senate after taking seats from the Democrats and obtaining at least 51 seats. Out of 100 seats.

CNN analyst Stephen Collinson expects that the Republicans will turn the Senate upside down, which will shift the balance of power in Washington, as he believes that the Republicans’ victory in the Senate is the first major success for the Republicans in the election battle.

Collinson added, “The new Republican Senate will be in a position to support Trump’s agenda if he wins a second term, and to resume the process of reshaping the judiciary that the former president began by including larger numbers of conservatives if he ends up in the Oval Office. But if Harris succeeds, she will face… “Problems confirming her cabinet members and judicial nominees, and a Republican Senate, could thwart her domestic plans.”

Collinson believes that there was not much to cheer about for Democrats on the Senate map on Tuesday. Democrat Angela Alsobrooks was expected to defeat the former Republican governor of Maryland, Larry Hogan, who was popular and was a frequent critic of Trump, a position that… It was a challenge for him with deeply conservative Republicans in Maryland’s western districts and areas near the East Coast.

In an analysis published by Reuters, a political analyst from Washington, Andy Sullivan, said that Republican victories to control the US Senate will ensure that Donald Trump’s party will control at least one of the two chambers of Congress next year, at the same time that Republicans also made early gains in their battle to retain control. On the House of Representatives.

“If they succeed, Republicans will be in a position to dictate the agenda in Washington, and help Trump fulfill his promise to cut taxes and restrict immigration,” Sullivan added. Tuesday’s results ensured that Senate Republicans would be able to help Trump appoint conservative judges and others. Of government employees.

The Associated Press said, in its analysis of the election results, that Harris’ path to the White House had become difficult as the votes in favor of Harris had diminished, as Trump’s victory in Georgia was a milestone, after Trump lost Georgia four years ago to Democrat Joe Biden by a difference of 11,779 votes – a number that Memorably after Trump begged election officials in Georgia to help him find one more vote to overturn Biden’s victory, he was also charged with criminal charges in Georgia as part of a wide-ranging racketeering indictment, but was pleaded not guilty.
