In a significant turn of events, Republicans have claimed control of the US Senate and aim to secure a majority in the House, aligning with President-elect Donald Trump in the White House. This political shift could establish a unified GOP powerhold in Washington.
As Trump celebrated the election outcomes, calling it a "mandate" for Republicans, the GOP began dismantling Democrats' Senate positions. Trump's influence stretched across key battleground states, demonstrating a historic Republican takeover.
The potential for a dual Republican majority in Congress and the presidency is unprecedented, as Democrats strive to counteract this shift in power, advocating for democracy amidst public concerns over economic and immigration issues.
