"America is back." Democrats triumph in the congressional elections

There is joy among American Democrats. America is back, declared their House Speaker, Hakeem Jeffries. Americans have spoken out and made it clear that they are fed up with extremism and corruption, the politician said.

Speaking about the goals of his group, he said:

House Democrats are determined to fight for an America where life is more affordable. We will fight decisively to reduce the high costs of housing, food and fuel. We will also work hard to ensure that every American can afford to see a doctor whenever they need it.

“It's a good night for Democrats.”

It looks like it's a good night for Democrats, admitted former Republican congressman Charlie Dent. In his opinion, the election results are not so much an expression of support for Democrats, but rather a rejection of Republicans and the president.

The result of this election will become a kind of referendum on who he is, how he runs the economy, and his conduct while in office, said the former Republican congressman.

Mike Johnson disappointed with the results. Donald Trump praises and blames

House Speaker Mike Johnson admitted it was a difficult night for Republicans and that he was "disappointed" with the election results. He announced that his party would regain the majority in 2028.

Johnson was praised by Donald Trump himself in an interview with Politico. I think he did a very good job; really very good - he said, adding that the Republican will have to decide for himself whether to keep the position of chairman if the Democrats take over the majority.

However, the host of the White House was less understanding towards the Republican governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, who, according to forecasts, lost the election to the Democratic candidate. "If Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, had not become a RINO (Republican in name only - ed.) in the last six months of his political career, he would not have failed. He returned to his original strategy, and the effect was not very pleasant!" - Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The conservative Fox News station was also attacked.

"Fox News is responsible for these failures because it continually and consistently invites Democratic representatives on the air," the president said.

He also shared a photo of a distinctive red baseball cap with the word "veto" on it. Earlier, Trump announced that if the Democrats win the Congressional elections, he will not sign their bills and will become the "veto master".

He also stated in one of his entries that he would become a political commentator and analyze the causes of candidates' failures and successes.

Trump also indicated that if his name were on the ballot, Republicans would win "by a landslide."

US midterm elections. Democrats take the House and Senate

According to still unofficial results, the candidates of the Democratic Party can enjoy victory in both houses of the American parliament - the House of Representatives and the Senate.

In the former, the division of seats, according to NBC forecasts, may ultimately be 248 to 187 in favor of the Democrats (this would mean an increase in their holdings by 34 seats).

In the Senate, Democrats were expected to take over six Republican seats and secure at least 51 seats in the 100-seat chamber.

Midterm elections are held in the United States in the middle of a president's four-year term - hence their name. Their result may determine whether the incumbent president will have a majority in Congress. If his party loses it, passing laws, approving nominations and financing government programs could become much more difficult.
