Republicans scored victories on Tuesday, but a public rejection of Joe Biden’s administration seems less likely in midterm elections that will determine the political futures of the Democratic president and his predecessor, Donald Trump.
Texas and Florida won with anti-immigrant policies
The election’s verdict was clear in races for governors of Republican states, such as hard-line immigration promoter Greg Abbott in Texas or rising star Ron DeSantis’ landslide victory in Florida. Major Potential Candidates for the White House in 2024
DeSantis, 44, said the fight was just beginning and that he wanted to use this midterm election as a boost for the next presidential election, potentially angering Trump, who has promised to make a “big announcement” on Nov. 15.
For now, he can rejoice in the victory of some candidates, such as the congressional seat of Latina Monica de la Cruz, a promoter of his immigration policy in Texas, but most of all the senator from Ohio, J.T. One of America’s industrial and agricultural strongholds.
Maryland and Massachusetts, now Democrats
The senatorial seat is a big disappointment for Biden, but Democrats are also happy. They wrested two governorships from conservatives: Maryland and Massachusetts, where Maura Healy was the first lesbian to lead a state.
Maxwell Frost, 25, a Florida Democrat who became the first member of “Generation Z” to enter Congress, won a seat in the House of Representatives.
Democrat Kathy Hochul raised the spirits of Democrats by holding the governorship of New York state, which Republicans believed they could defeat.
Democrats could lose control of the House of Representatives
Handicapped by record increases in inflation, Joe Biden could lose control of the House and Senate in midterm elections traditionally unfavorable to the ruling party.
But the “huge wave” of red, the color of Republicans promised by Donald Trump, has yet to materialize, although the numbers are far from over. “It’s not a Republican wave, that’s for sure,” said the influential Sen., a friend of the former president. Lindsey Graham told NBC.
No “Red Tsunami” as Ted Cruz predicted
A Republican Senate that predicted a “red tsunami.” Ted Cruz still predicts his party will win both chambers, but admits “it’s not as big a wave as I expected.”
So is House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. It is clear that we are going to recover the camera.
Control of the Senate is uncertain. It all depends on some key states like Georgia, Arizona and Pennsylvania where the fights are tight.
Mystery Solved: Democrats Win Pennsylvania
Something unknown has already been destroyed. In Pennsylvania, the Democratic Party won a decisive seat against Trump candidate John Fetterman, local newspapers reported. In that state, Lazine Lattimore, a 77-year-old African-American, expected a victory from the Democrats because they are more on the side of the people.
“I want more money for health insurance and my dental care and my glasses,” he added, echoing Biden’s campaign to present himself as a president of the middle class and the poor.
An argument that carries little weight against Republicans’ aggressive campaigning, which they blame for fueling inflation, now at record levels, crime has gotten out of hand.
Dozens of polls on abortion rights
If the 79-year-old Democrat loses one of the chambers, his room for maneuver dissipates. He’ll be hamstrung in the face of Republicans vowing to use all congressional weapons: including investigations into his son Hunter Biden, and budget impoundments. But if he also loses the Senate, a potential candidacy in 2024 would be mortgaged.
In addition to seats in the full House of Representatives, one-third of the Senate and a succession of governorships and local positions, dozens of referendums were held this Tuesday, mainly on abortion rights.
About 140 recusants receive orders
US media reports that more than 140 Republican candidates have been elected to national and local office in these elections, challenging the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
However, some of those who espoused these theories propagated without evidence by Donald Trump were defeated, such as Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano.
