Results of the 2020 US elections: Democrats will maintain the majority in the House of Representatives

The Democratic Party will maintain control of the United States House of Representatives (USA) without problem, after revalidating its majority. However, no significant gains are expected over his current dominance in the lower house of the US Congress. These are the data offered by the vote projection prepared by the CNN network, the first to advance the majority that confirmed Joe Biden. Official and provisional data indicate that, so far, the Democratic Party has 211 members elected to the House. after losing seven seats and winning two, while Republicans would have 197 seats after winning eight seats and losing two.The majority is at 218 votes and Democrats had 232 seats before the start of the November 3 elections, which they decide the entire composition of the chamber. Republicans have 197 seats. CNN’s projection is based on statistical models that take into account votes that Democrats have already won and analysis of elections in which the Democratic candidate has a clear advantage. 10-15 more seats More optimistic forecasts in the US gave Democrats between 10 and 15 new seats, but estimates cast serious doubt that they will reach this number. Republicans may have benefited from certain undecided voters backing the already elected president, Joe Biden, by now. Republican candidates for Congress, in the opinion of independent analyst Kyle Kondik, on NBC. “I think they expected a better general environment than they are going to get,” said Biden, 46th US President Joe Biden (Scranton, Pennsylvania, 1942) will become the 46th president in US history.About to turn 78 on November 20, he will be the oldest since George Washington was sworn in as the new republic in 1789. To reach that moment on Capitol Hill, next January, the leader Democrat will still have had to overcome the countless litigation that Donald Trump will raise to the electoral result, after Pennsylvania has definitively tipped the balance on Biden’s side after a very tight results recount. Four days of scrutiny typical of an underdeveloped country have left the widespread impression that Biden has ended up narrowly winning. And it is not like that. Biden’s 50.5% versus Trump’s 47.7% is the second-greatest gap between two candidates in the last twenty years, surpassed only by Obama’s landslide victory over McCain in 2008 (52.9% versus 45, 6%) Since the beginning of the last century, only four candidates who were not from the White House won the Presidency of the world’s leading power with more support than Biden will be able to boast: Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Bush Sr. and Obama. Because if we speak of close elections, none like the one that faced Kennedy and Nixon in 1960: barely 100,000 votes (0.2% of the total) separated the first Catholic president from the one who would later become years later. Or the one that in 2000 allowed Bush Jr. to become the second president of the Texan dynasty, by just 537 ballots in Florida, with the Democrat Gore turning to the Supreme Court to try to abort the Republican triumph.
