(Keystone-ATS) The Republicans notably won a senatorial seat previously held by the Democrats in the American state of West Virginia. Supported by Donald Trump, Jim Justice won this senatorial election in this mountainous and rural state. That seat was held by Joe Manchin, a former Democrat who did not run for reelection. In Ohio, Republican Bernie Moreno won the Senate election, flipping a previously Democratic seat.
Control of the Senate, with that of the House of Representatives not yet known, is a major issue in the legislative elections organized in parallel with the presidential election. The next president’s room for maneuver will largely depend on the laws he can or cannot pass in Congress.
