WASHINGTON, Oct 13 - RIA Novosti. Democrats are more than 90% likely to win a majority in at least one chamber of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections in November, according to respected American economist and professor at Columbia University Jeffrey Sachs.
The midterm elections will be held on November 3. Americans will have to completely re-elect the House of Representatives and determine the owners of 35 seats in the Senate.
“Such an outcome is very likely - more than 90% - if the elections are peaceful and the votes are counted fairly,” Sachs told RIA Novosti.
According to the economist, a Democratic victory in even one chamber would have very significant consequences for Trump and weaken his power, both legal and political.
