US Congressional Elections – Democrats win seats in House of Representatives

Washington (APA / Reuters / DPA) – According to the DDHQ (US media and data service), Democrats have conquered a Republican seat in the state of Virginia in the United States in the House of Representatives. To win a majority in the House of Congress, they must win at least 23 seats.

The Five Thirtieth Eight statistics website now predicts a 92% probability that Democrats will win a majority in the House of Representatives. Republicans, for their part, have a chance of nearly 87% to retain control of the Senate. This would confirm expectations before the elections.

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, protested shortly after the closure of the first polls and even before the announcement of credible results to have given everything during the election campaign. The president has held 50 rallies, including 30 in just the last two weeks, said spokesman Sarah Sanders Tuesday in Washington (local time). Under Trump's leadership, Republicans had raised a quarter of a billion dollars in donations. "Tonight we can continue on the path of American prosperity or go back," said Sanders.
