The expected red tide has not occurred, but a difficult two-year period is expected for the Democratic president.
For now, even if the expectation is still that the Republicans will win a majority in the House while in the Senate it is a direct confrontation, the democratic debacle that many predicted in relation to the midterm elections just held has not materialized. the United States.
Incumbent President Joe Biden’s party does not go empty-handed, while Republicans can rejoice in JD Vance’s Ohio victory. Democrats won two provinces from Republicans: Maryland and Massachusetts, where Maura Healey will be the first openly lesbian woman to head a state. Joe Biden called her right away to congratulate her. The 52-year-old Democrat easily beat Republican Geoff Diehl, imposed by Donald Trump, in this northeastern state that was led for eight years by a Republican, Charlie Baker, who did not reappear. “I am proud to be the first woman and the first gay person to be elected governor,” Healey said at a rally in Boston. “Tonight I want to say something to every little girl and every young LGBTQ girl: I hope this day shows that you can be anything you want to be. Tonight we did something historic.”
Biden’s party also spared what would have been a political disaster by retaining control of New York State, where Republicans believed they could topple Governor Kathy Hochul. It should also be noted, always in favor of the Democratic camp, the conquest of a potentially decisive seat for control of the Senate, with the victory of John Fetterman in Pennsylvania against a Trumpian candidate, according to the American channels Fox News and NBC . “It’s official,” Fetterman recently wrote on Twitter. “I will be the next US Senator from Pennsylvania. We bet on the people of Pennsylvania and you didn’t let us down. And I won’t let you down. Thank you.”
