The US Democratic Party expects to win a majority of seats in the House of Representatives in the general elections, despite the low chances of success. The portal reported thisSemaforwith reference to sources.
According to him, the Democrats' chances of gaining control of the lower house of the US Congress now depend on the yet to be announced voting results in some states, mainly in the western part of the country. “There is a path to the majority. It’s tight and narrow,” the portal quotes the words of a legislator from the Democratic Party, who wished to remain anonymous. It is noted that Democrats place their main hopes on the victory of their nominees in the states of California, Oregon and New York.
However, the chances of success for the Democrats, in particular, were greatly reduced by the victory of US presidential candidate Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, the portal notes. Trump's leadership in this state allowed Republicans to unseat Democratic incumbents in the House of Representatives Susan Wild and Matt Cartwright.
In connection with the current situation, some Democratic legislators are calling on their party to recognize the hopelessness of the situation. Voting in the US general election ended on the morning of November 6th. American voters elected a president and vice president, 33 senators, 435 members of the House of Representatives, 13 state and territorial governors, and local government representatives.
The official results have not yet been summed up, but, according to American media, Trump has already won about 300 electoral votes with the required 270. He has already declared himself the 47th president of the United States. His rival, Democrat Kamala Harris, admitted her defeat and named the Republican president-elect. Trump is already receiving congratulations from foreign leaders.
