American presidential election: the Senate and the House of Representatives under Republican control, a danger for democracy?

It's now official: Donald Trump has been elected president of the United States. In addition to winning the presidential election, the Republicans will also take control of the Senate and the House of Representatives. But what does this mean for the future of the country?

It's a historic day for Donald Trump: the billionaire became the 47th president of the United States by defeating his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris. In addition to winning the election, his party is on track to take control of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Our journalist analyzes this simply historic result: “I don't know if Donald Trump predicted this scenario, but he is on track to win it all. The Senate, first. The Republican Party now has a majority in the Senate, which is very important to it. And currently, the chances of also winning the House of Representatives are real: 204 representatives have already been acquired, and 218 are needed. The dynamic, for the moment, is on Donald Trump's side“, he explains.

At the same time, we must also take into account the Supreme Court. “Out of 9 judges, 6 are almost committed to the cause of Donald Trump. That's a lot for a president. This finally gives Donald Trump a free hand to implement his program in the coming weeks, when he finally takes office.“, concludes our expert.
