In the elections held in the United States on November 5, the Republicans received the majority in the House of Representatives (lower house of the US Congress).
according to unofficial data published by the Associated Press (AP) agency, the Republicans received 53 places in the Senate (Upper House of the US Congress) and 218 seats in the House of Representatives.
Thus, in the elections in which the Republican Donald Trump won in the presidential race, the Republican Party achieved significant success, having received the majority in both chambers of the US Congress.
Thanks to such results of Trump’s voting, along with the Republicans who have gained the majority in the US Congress, will have a strong influence in the country’s government before the intermediate elections, which will take place in 2026.
In the 2016 elections, in which Trump also won the presidential race, the Republicans received the majority both in the Senate and in the House of Representatives.
The composition of the US Congress, represented by two leading political forces, is of great importance in the political life of the country, and also directly affects the sphere of activity of the American president.
The president needs to work with Congress, especially on issues such as budgeting, decision -making, such as sending troops, as well as foreign policy. The House of US Representatives has 435 members participating in the vote, which are elected for a period of 2 years. The US Senate consists of 100 members, 2 senators from each state elected for a period of 6 years. Thus, in the framework of the elections to the Congress held every 2 years, the entire composition of the House of Representatives and 1/3 of the Senate is changing.
