Good news
The American mid-term elections, the ruling party’s graveyard.
Again, this statement is correct.
On the early morning of the 9th (local time), US media predicted a Republican victory in the House of Representatives while some regions, including the western region, were still being counted.
Although predictions vary slightly depending on the media, the Republican Party is expected to win two to 17 seats more than a 218-seat majority.
The Senate, which re-elects 35 out of a total of 100 people, is a tight match as most polls do.
The New York Times reported that at 3 am, the two boroughs, Georgia and Nevada, were squabbling with Democrats and Republicans divided into 49 seats each.
In Georgia, 95% of the vote count is ongoing and Rafael, an active Democrat, is leading by a 0.8 percentage point difference.
However, it is difficult to predict the match easily as it swings to the end of the count.
Furthermore, it is very likely that neither candidate will be able to secure a majority of the seats, so a ballot is likely to be held next month.
Nevada has a 55% vote-count rate and Katharine Masto, also a Democrat in office, leads by about 3 percentage points, but she is also unpredictable.
The Republican Party, which had even predicted a victory in the Senate, continues to disappoint.
CNN estimated that the Democrats were doing surprisingly well.
However, with former President Donald Trump’s predicted presidential run in 2024 and Republican control of the House of Representatives, President Joe Biden’s handling of state affairs is expected to be severely damaged.
This time, however, among the four Korean Houses of Representatives, Rep. Andy Kim of the Democratic Party managed to occupy the third mandate among the Koreans for the first time.
Democrat Marilyn Strickland also won re-election, but two California Republican women are struggling.
