The counting of votes for the U.S. midterm elections continues. As the results of the counting are released one after another, the American media CNN has announced that the Democratic Party has regained a majority of seats in the House of Representatives and also has a chance to win the Senate. The Democratic Party's chance of sweeping both houses has increased to 87%.

Before the election, both the House of Representatives and the Senate were controlled by the Republican Party, but the Republican majority was very weak. The Republican Party held 218 seats in the House of Representatives, which was only 1 seat more than the minimum number of seats required to gain control. In this midterm election, 435 seats in the House of Representatives were fully up for grabs. As the results of the vote are coming out, the US election forecasting agency "Decision Desk HQ" has announced that the Democratic Party will gain control of the House of Representatives.

CNN Decision Desk also predicts that the Democratic Party will win control of the House of Representatives, and the current Democratic leader of the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, is expected to become the first black speaker in history.

If the Democrats ultimately gain control of the House of Representatives, they are expected to have a direct impact on the operations of Washington and hinder Trump's legislative agenda. The Democratic Party's Senate election is also quite optimistic. According to outside predictions, the Democratic Party's chance of winning both the Senate and the House of Representatives has increased to 87%.
