Yesterday, the Democrats and Republicans had 49 seats in the US Senate, or 2 short of the total, since 2 races had not been decided.
Today, The Democrats have 50, so a majority, when the polls the day before the election said the Republicans would probably take the Senate. But now the Senate has a Democrat majority, and may have a Democrat majority of 51 after the Georgia runoff.
All the anti-war Republicans who had to run lost (there are a few Senators who did not have to run in the 2022 elections, every election elects just 1/3 of all the Senators, so some of the very few Republicans who are anti-war did not have to run; lots of those running were anti-war, but they just about all lost).
Yesterday, the Democrats started with 201 members of the House of Representative, but that rose to 204, while the Republicans stayed at 211. Today, the Democrats still have 204, and the Republicans gained one to 212, just 6 away from having a majority of the House. The polls said the Republicans would have a comfortable majority, but now it is not clear if they will get a majority. Yesterday started with 19 races still undecided, and 3 of the four decided went to Democrats and one to a Republican. If this continues, the Democrats will have the House and Senate, just as they do now. Fifteen seats in the House still undecided. The Democrats need 14 more to win the House, and the Republicans need just 6 more. Will the Democrats get 14 out of 15? Quite possibly. And every last Democrat wants war with Russia and the PRC that will destroy both countries and split them into a bunch of unarmed, independent nations that cannot challenge US hegemony.
