The Republican Party of the United States regained its majority in the House of Representatives on Wednesday and the president of the United States, Joe Biden, has already congratulated the opposition. CBS television projections have the Republicans winning between 218 and 223 of the 435 House seats.
in one statement issued by the White HouseBiden says he’s ready to work: “I congratulate Leader McCarhty on the Republican victory and House majority, and I’m ready to work with Republicans to deliver results for working families.”
After having lost the opportunity to recover the Senate, the Republican Party achieves a slight majority in the Lower House of Congress, far from the “red wave” (the color of the party), promised by former President Donald Trump as a result of the Elections to term that took place on the 8th. With some electoral circles still to be clarified, the Republicans reached this Wednesday the 218 seats that guarantee a majority in the House of Representatives, enough to create difficulties for Joe Biden’s political agenda, in the next two years.
With this result, the US Congress returns to the “divided house” model, with the Senate controlled by Democrats and the House of Representatives led by Republicans.
The Republican Party did not wait for the final results to begin choosing the majority leader in the lower house of Congress, having nominated Kevin McCarthy to replace Democrat Nancy Pelosi.
McCarthy won the first battle – removing Senator Rick Scott, who was supported by Donald Trump – but to take Pelosi’s place he will have to go to a final vote, early next year, where he will need the support of the majority. of 435 members of the House of Representatives.
