Against all odds, Donald Trump on Tuesday managed not only to secure his presidency but also helped Republicans gain back control of the Senate.
Tuesday’s results saw Republicans triumph in key Senate races, with wins in Ohio and West Virginia bolstering their position. The party now controls the Senate by a slim majority, securing a 51-49 advantage, with further gains possible. Trump-backed candidates Bernie Moreno and Jim Justice won pivotal Senate seats, while Republicans made inroads in the House, ensuring they could influence key legislative decisions.
"We have taken back control of the Senate. Wow, that's great. And the Senate races in Montana, Nevada, Texas, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania," Trump said.
"They were tough races. And I mean, the number of victories in the Senate was absolutely incredible. And we did teller rallies. We did teller rallies with each one of them. And sometimes we did two or three. And it was amazing to look at all of those victories," he added.
The House of Representatives remains up for grabs, however, with tight races continuing to unfold in several swing districts. In Pennsylvania, traditionally a Democrat stronghold, the GOP took a crucial seat, and similar victories in North Carolina, aided by newly redrawn districts, have left the battle for control highly uncertain. As of now, Republicans hold a narrow 220-212 majority, but this could shift dramatically depending on the results of closely contested races, particularly in Democratic-leaning states like New York and California, where counting could take several days.
The stakes are high: a Republican House would grant Trump the power to appoint conservative judges and shape policy across a range of issues. If Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice president, prevails, Republicans in the House could serve as a powerful check on her agenda, blocking key parts of her proposed reforms. Analysts predict a tight, contested outcome that could result in another period of legislative gridlock, reminiscent of past years of partisan infighting.
