Latest situation in the Congressional elections in the USA: The race is neck and neck in the Senate and the House of Representatives

In the USA, elections will be held on November 3 in the entire 435-seat House of Representatives and 33 seats in the 100-seat Senate.

20 of the candidates running for election in the Senate are Republicans, while 13 are Democrats.

Although the Republicans seem to be ahead in both the Senate and the House of Representatives in the average of the polls conducted across the country regarding the elections, the real result will be determined by the constituencies where the neck and neck race is currently ongoing.

Republicans have the advantage in the Senate

According to the table on the news platform Real Clear Politics (RCP), which compiles nationwide and state-level surveys during the election process, it is certain that Democrats will win 45 of the seats in the Senate and Republicans will win 47.

In 8 states, the candidates are neck and neck.

If Republicans take the lead in three of these states, it may be possible for Republicans to gain a majority in the Senate, thanks to Vice President J.D. Vance's tie-breaking vote, even if the seat distribution is 50-50.

According to the law, the Vice President, who also serves as the President of the Senate, can cast the tiebreaking vote in favor of his party.

There is hope for Democrats in the House of Representatives

On the other hand, the party that reaches 218 seats in the House of Representatives, which is all up for election, will also have the majority.

According to the current tally in the RCP, Republicans are almost certain to take 201 seats in the House of Representatives and Democrats 195.

The gap has narrowed in the race between Democrats and Republicans for 39 seats in the House of Representatives.

Of these seats, 22 are in Democrat-oriented districts and 17 are in Republican-oriented districts. If these trends prove true, the Democrats may narrowly gain the majority in the House of Representatives.

What is the current table like?

In the US, Republicans currently have 53 seats in the Senate and Democrats have 45 seats. Independents, who have 2 seats, act with Democrats on many issues.

In the House of Representatives, Republicans have 218 seats, Democrats have 214 seats, Independents have 1 seat, and 2 seats in the parliament are vacant.
