WASHINGTON: Tuesday’s elections could split Capitol Hill between Kamala Harris’ Democrats and Donald Trump’s Republicans, and they could also flip the Senate and the House of Representatives, putting control of the US Congress in jeopardy.
How easily the victor of Tuesday’s US presidential election governs until the subsequent legislative elections in 2026 will be greatly influenced by the outcome.
Republicans have a strong chance of regaining the Senate, where Democrats currently hold a 51-49 majority, according to nonpartisan analysts. However, Democrats only need to gain four seats to regain control of the 435-seat House, meaning Republicans may also lose their hold on the chamber.
