Democrat John Fetterman won Pennsylvania’s election race for the US Senate, winning a Republican seat and giving Democrats hope of retaining control of the upper house of Congress.
Fetterman, the Pennsylvania lieutenant governor, defeated Mehmet Oz, the surgeon-turned-TV celebrity endorsed by former President Donald Trump, in a state seen as essential to the final outcome of Tuesday’s midterm elections.
Fetterman, 53, campaigned while recovering from a serious illness, forcing him to go to great lengths to get his campaign message across.
Realizing the importance of this election dispute, President Joe Biden campaigned in Pennsylvania for Fetterman three times in the last three weeks, while former President Donald Trump also showed up there to hold a pro-Oz rally.
Tuesday’s US midterm elections will determine which party controls Congress for the final two years of President Joe Biden’s term, with 36 state governments on the line and several state referendums on action on key issues, including abortion and women’s rights. soft drugs.
At stake will be the 435 seats in the House of Representatives, where Democrats currently hold a narrow five-seat majority, and 35 seats in the Senate, where Democrats hold a majority only thanks to a runoff vote by Vice President Kamala Harris. .
Elections can not only change the face of the US Congress, but also bring to power governors and local officials who are fully committed to the ideas of Donald Trump. A very strong defeat in these next elections could further complicate the scenario of a second presidential term for Joe Biden.
