The US House of Representatives was also controlled by the Republicans

According to RCO News Agency, the Republicans of the party of President-elect Donald Trump were able to achieve a majority of 218 seats in the House of Representatives.

The US Congress consists of two houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives, and now both houses are in the hands of the Republicans. The Senate is now in the hands of this party with a majority of 52 seats.

Currently, the status of six other competitions related to the House of Representatives has not been determined. Current results indicate a fragile majority. Democrats in this parliament also won 208 seats.

As the US president-elect has nominated two members of the House of Representatives for top posts, GOP leaders have warned that they are unwilling to lose any more of their troops in the House. On Wednesday evening, before meeting with Biden, Trump visited Republican representatives and mentioned that members of these forces may still be selected to enter the White House.

In this regard, the newspaper “New York Times” reported that the pressure of the President-elect of the United States to gather his government with loyal members of Congress, meets with a difficult political reality for the Republicans; They suffer from the absence of members who are needed to maintain a narrow majority in the House of Representatives.

If a seat in the House of Representatives becomes vacant, a special election is usually held to fill that seat for the remainder of the term. The process, whose timing is sometimes dictated by the state’s governor, can take months. As for Elise Stefanik, Trump’s pick to be the US ambassador to the United Nations, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, will have an incentive to hold the special election as late as possible.

Earlier, Reuters reported that the Republicans hold a small majority in the Senate with 52 seats, and a majority of 60 votes is needed to pass most laws, which means that even if the Republicans win the majority in the House of Representatives, the Democrats will have leverage in the House of Representatives. Washington will maintain.
