In the state of Georgia, according to the results of the second round, the Democratic Party won
Midterm elections for the US Senate ended with a majority for the Democrats. Everything was decided after the second round in the state of Georgia.
According to CNN, the Democratic Party won 51 seats in the Senate, including the seat of the vice president, and Republicans have 49 seats left.
It is noted that during the first round in Georgia, none of the candidates took more than 50% of the vote. The runoff was held on December 6 and was won by Democrat Raphael Warnock, who serves as pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Martin Luther King Jr. led services.
“Winning the 51st seat thanks to Warnock’s victory on Tuesday provides important advantages for the Democrats who lead the Senate and for President Biden’s administration,” the report said.
Thus, the current US president will have support in the Senate. In addition, Democrats will have a majority in each committee, allowing legislation to be processed more quickly.
At the same time, the House of Representatives remained with the Republican Party.
Mid-term elections in the USA – what is known
Midterm elections for the US Senate took place on November 8. The majority in the House of Representatives was taken by the Republican Party, which gives them the opportunity to influence the agenda. By the way, two dead people appeared in the lists of candidates. They were representatives of the Democrats and died before voting day.
After that, the battle for the majority in the Senate unfolded. Everything was delayed because the state of Georgia was holding a repeat vote.
In addition, prior to the election, it became known that robots were using political memes to influence the outcome of the election. At the same time, the leader of the “Wagner” Communist Party Yevgeny Prigozhin admitted that he “interfered, is interfering and will interfere” in the US elections.
