Presidential and congressional election results announced in half of US states

The US elections ended a few hours ago. It is worth remembering that Americans are choosing not only a new president, but also a new congress.

By now, there are reports that the Republicans are close to taking control of the upper house of parliament. Let us recall that before the voting day in the US Congress, the Democrats and Republicans had "chamber" parity - the former controlled the Senate, the latter - the House of Representatives. Moreover, the Democratic Party's control over the Senate in terms of the number of seats was minimal - 51 against 49.

During the elections, the Republicans managed to take votes in West Virginia. And now they only need to get at least one more state to transfer the upper chamber under their control.

Meanwhile, a serious battle is also unfolding in the lower house. Before the election, the Republican Party dominated there with 220 seats against 212 (three seats remained vacant). At the moment, the Democrats need five seats to take control of the House of Representatives.

Thus, whoever becomes the US president may face a lack of party control over at least one of the houses of parliament. In the worst case for Trump and Harris (if one of them is lucky enough to become the US president), this could mean that their party loses control over both houses. In such a scenario, the president’s activities in the US will be significantly limited.

Meanwhile, data is coming in on the vote count in a number of states for the 47th president. Harris is currently winning in 8 states, including traditionally Democratic New York, Delaware and Massachusetts. Trump is currently celebrating victory in 17 states, including Florida, Texas, Missouri, South Carolina, North and South Dakota. According to the electoral votes (if they themselves do not surprise with a protest vote), it is 207 to 91 in favor of Trump. 270 are needed to win.

That is, the results have so far been announced in half of the US states.

Harris is currently winning eight states, including traditional Democratic ones like New York, Delaware and Massachusetts. Trump is currently celebrating victory in 8 states,

Personally, I don’t give a damn who is in the lead there and who becomes president!

... and the oligarchs and banking tycoons will still rule the USA - no matter who sits in the presidential chair. And if Donnie wins and goes against them - he will most likely quickly meet with J.F. Kennedy - he will not get off with an ear...

[Mazunga]

only in the USA do those who have money rule)?

[Aken]

If Trump wins, there will be a big redistribution of dough. A very big one. There is something to fight for.

[Mazunga]

so this sacred thing can be taken and sawed)))

They rule everywhere, these money-makers...

The two of them don't shine in terms of people's trust and authority. An old man with foundation or a Latino with marijuana - it doesn't matter. We'll see.. One good thing - the new candidate can remember whether he went to the toilet or not. That's good.

So divide America into two parts. Republican USA and Democratic USA. And both will be happy.

At the moment it's 198 to 112 in favor of Father Trump. Come on, Trump, push...

Are you serious? Why would you do that? Trump has imposed so many restrictions and "punishments" on Russia - that Obama and Biden haven't done even half as much!

[Эльдорадо]

Trump's victory means it's time to "unpack" the nuclear arsenal.

[sgr291158]

It doesn't matter who wins, the laugher or the dancer, it doesn't make us feel either cold or hot.

[th.kuzmichev]

Why are you so hung up on these "elections"? They don't have elections, it's a show. From year to year, it's a 50-50 "fight". That doesn't happen in real life. It's easy to move a one percent difference. Whoever moves the percentage rules America, not these appointed clowns.

[aszzz888]

In this way, whoever becomes president of the United States, ..

We will find out about this in January 25, at the inauguration. Until that day, the tramp and the neighing horse will knead each other.

[Dilettante grandfather]

There is no need to offend Harris' CAMEL... She is not a horse, far from a horse... And horses should not be offended by such a comparison either...

[Comrade Beria]

Trump said winning swing state Pennsylvania would be crucial to his success in the US presidential election.

So far in Pennsylvania, Trump is losing to Kamala.

With 18% of ballots processed, Harris has 61,2%, while Republican former President Donald Trump has 38%.

Pennsylvania provides 19 electoral votes, and a candidate needs at least 270 to win.

Yeah, and what about this, do you need ammo? Maybe we should contact our Ministry of Defense - they'll throw some in...
Well, for an independent Texas, we probably won't even spare our guns.
Freedom and independence for the cowboys of Texas!

[APASUS]

It is already clear that Trump will win and Harris will be president. That is American democracy.

[Nexcom]

Not a fact. They write that the most advanced Americans are already boarding up the windows of their stores with plywood and so on - they are getting ready.

[APASUS]

Quote: Nexcom

Not a fact.

Why isn't it a fact? The Democrats will pull off the trick with mail-in voting, once it's passed and now it will pass. American justice assumes that each case of forgery is considered separately. This means hundreds of thousands and decades of trials. No one will sue.

[Nexcom]

I don't think Donnie will swallow it this time. I assume there will be noise. What does he have to lose? There are quite a few cases against him - and if he fails, they will milk him dry. In the same Texas, Donnie beat Harris by a very large margin. And the tough guys from Texas won't want to swallow it so easily.

[APASUS]

Quote: Nexcom

I assume there will be noise.

There will be noise in any case. There will always be dissatisfied people. But this is America, it's not the first time police officers shoot blacks there, everything will be hushed up in 5-10 days.

And the Afrys will also make a fuss about this. Robbing caravans (c) - that's what they always do.

Republican candidate Donald Trump won the US presidential election in Texas, one of the country's largest states.

Trump has won the Texas race, according to unofficial results published by the Associated Press (AP).
Trump won 40 delegates in Texas.

Results have also been announced in New York, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Louisiana.

While Democratic nominee Kamala Harris won New York, Trump won North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Louisiana.

Harris won 28 delegates in New York, while Trump won 17 delegates in North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Louisiana.

[Sergej1972]

And how will they pull this trick off in the states where the Republicans are in power? Let me remind you that in the USA, the victory of candidates from one party or another on a statewide scale matters. The fact that in Democratic California, not 51 percent vote for the Democrats with a turnout of 40 percent, but 60 percent or more with a turnout of 60 percent, will not change the number of seats in the Electoral College from this state. And this will not affect the balance of power in any way.

[APASUS]

Quote: Sergej1972

The number of seats in the Electoral College from this state will not change. And this will not affect the balance of power in any way.

Only 19 states have laws requiring that the elector votes according to the same scenario as the majority of the state's population.
In the democratic USA there are so many tricks, quite controversial, take at least voting by mail or voting without documents

[Sergej1972]

Let me remind you that in 48 states and the District of Columbia, the list of electors that comes out on top receives all the votes in the college from that state. It is not individual electors that are elected, but the list of electors. The elections are partisan in nature, and the candidates for electors are political activists of the corresponding party. And do you think that Republican electors will vote for Democratic candidates? There have been isolated cases of unfair voting, but never in the history of the United States have they affected the final result. And the "unfair" electors themselves can forget about their future careers.

Quite possibly. If Senile Joe retires, Kamala will become president, and will hold that office until noon on January 25th. Thus, she will go down in history as the first woman to hold that office.

[Sergej1972]

Now I'm watching Trump's speech. It's striking that he is effectively positioning himself as the informal leader of the Republicans in Congress.
