However, the US president has confessed that he sees it “difficult” for his party to keep the House of Representatives
MADRID, 8 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of the United States, Joe Biden, has predicted this Monday that the Democratic Party will have majority control of the Senate after the mid-term elections, which are held this Tuesday.
Speaking to the press moments before entering the Marine One helicopter with First Lady Jill Biden, the US president has indicated that he feels optimistic and that he trusts that his party will take control of the Upper House, as reported by the White House in a statement.
However, Biden has confessed that he sees it “difficult” for the Democrats to win in the House of Representatives, since unlike the Senate, the Lower House “is tougher.”
The polls indicate that in the House of Representatives, where all 435 seats are at stake, the Republicans have it easier, since they would take 216 seats, just two away from gaining control of the chamber, while the Democrats would win 199. seats.
A total of 20 seats remain to be decided. Practically all the polls show the Republicans as favorites to wrest control of the Lower House from their Democratic rivals.
