The Republican Party has secured 53 seats in the Senate and leads in the House race, positioning itself to control both chambers of Congress next year.
U.S. media on November 8 confirmed that Republican Senate candidate Dave McCormick defeated Democratic incumbent Bob Casey in Pennsylvania, giving the GOP an additional seat in the Senate.
President-elect Donald Trump's party has now won at least 53 out of 100 Senate seats, surpassing the 50-seat threshold required for majority control. This marks the first time in four years that Republicans have regained control of the Senate.
The Republican seat count in the Senate could increase to 55 if their candidates win two highly competitive races in Arizona and Nevada. In the House of Representatives, the GOP is also poised for a victory, having secured 212 seats, just six shy of the majority needed. Meanwhile, Democrats have secured 199 seats. Final results for the House may take several more days to be confirmed.
By gaining control of the Senate, the Republican Party will hold a strategic advantage in confirming the new administration's nominees proposed by Trump. Should they also gain control of the House, the GOP will be in a strong position to help Trump fulfill his campaign promises, including tax cuts and significant restrictions on immigration.
The U.S. Congress, comprising the House of Representatives and the Senate, is the legislative branch of the federal government, responsible for drafting and enacting laws. The House consists of 435 seats, with members serving two-year terms, while the Senate has 100 seats, with members serving six-year terms.
