The U.S. midterm elections are continuing. CNN predicts that Democratic candidate Amy Acton, a female physician, will be elected governor of Ohio. This is the Democratic Party's retake of Ohio after 16 years, and Acton is the first female governor there.

According to "CNN", Acton will succeed the current Republican Governor Richard Michael DeWine, whose term has expired. She once served as Ohio Surgeon General under DeWine. This election has attracted national attention due to the controversial behavior of Republican opponent Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy.

It is understood that Ramaswamy hired Acton's biological mother to shoot an offensive campaign advertisement. However, Acton was abused by his mother as a child and sexually assaulted by his stepfather when he was 12 years old. Not only did his biological mother lose custody of Acton, but his stepfather was also indicted by a grand jury.

Ramaswamy's act of exposing Acton's childhood pain and scars was not tolerated even by party members, and they all called on Ramaswamy to stop airing the advertisement. In the last eight weeks of the election, Ramaswamy's camp spent more than twice as much on advertising as Acton. However, Acton pointedly accused Ramaswamy of being a billionaire who was out of touch with the people and only cared about himself, and took advantage of the disagreements within his party to launch a counterattack.

The Mainland Affairs Council said that "there is no Taiwan independence, only forced reunification." China's Taiwan Affairs Office jumped to counterattack

Liang Wenjie, deputy chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, emphasized that for the Republic of China, "there is no issue of Taiwan independence now," only the issue of whether to be forced to unify by the CCP. Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of China, responded that there is no peace and no way out for Taiwan independence. If the "DPP authorities" believe that there is no issue of Taiwan independence, they should "return to one China and the 1992 Consensus," abandon the Taiwan independence party platform and stop separatist actions for Taiwan independence.

Breaking the Republican Party's crimson vote base! US media predicts Democrats will regain control of Senate

The U.S. midterm election results show that the Democratic Party has made breakthroughs in Iowa and other traditionally Republican states. CNN predicts that the Democratic Party is expected to gain majority control of the Federal Senate. If it comes true, the Republican Party will lose its dominance in the Senate. Trump will face stronger congressional checks and balances in the second half of his second term. His cabinet and judicial nominations will fall under strict scrutiny by the Democratic-dominated Senate. The current results are still media predictions and are not officially certified.
