Democrats celebrated Sunday a stunning victory to hold the US Senate, leaving Republicans in disarray and providing a critical base of political and legislative support for the remainder of Joe Biden’s presidency.
WASHINGTON, United States –
The Senate oversees the confirmation of federal judges and cabinet members, and having the 100-seat body in his corner will be a major boon for Biden as he seeks to keep his policy agenda on track. Trump was the biggest Republican draw on the midterms campaign trail, and the party’s performance — with many candidates that he personally endorsed losing their high-profile races — was a damaging blow to him.
After the Senate result was projected, Republican Senator from Missouri Josh Hawley called for the party to “build something new.”Trump’s response has been to double down on unfounded claims of ballot rigging, posting on his Truth Social platform that the results were a “scam” — and pointing a finger of blame at Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.
