According to China News Network and CNN statistics, on November 16, local time, in the US midterm elections, the Republican Party took the lead in winning 218 House seats and becoming the majority party, which means that the Republican Party won the House of Representatives and the Democrats lost control of the House of Representatives.
According to CCTV News, on November 16 local time, US Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell won the secret ballot election with 37 votes and was re-elected as the Republican leader of the Senate.
U.S. midterm elections refer to regular elections held in November of the second year of the presidential term, once every four years. The 2022 midterm elections are the first federal elections held in the United States after the Capitol Hill riots. Unlike the presidential election, the key to the midterm election is the battle for congressional seats between the two parties in the United States. This also means that voters’ intuitive feelings about the economy and local affairs within the constituency can better determine the direction of election situation.
The "number 3" in the US political arena is about to be replaced
According to Cailianshe, as the Republicans lock in control of the House of Representatives, the third-ranked politician in the US political arena, the new House Speaker, will be born among the party's members.
Latest news says Kevin McCarthy has won the Republican House Speaker's nomination with 199 votes. However, as the new congressman will take office in January next year, McCarthy is currently only a minority leader in the House of Representatives.
Rep. Andy Biggs, who supports Trump, lost 31 votes in the House of Representatives nomination battle, but the outside world believes that the new House of Representatives will likely launch an investigation into Biden himself, his family, and the Biden administration.
It should be pointed out that the Speaker of the House of Representatives is the second heir after the Vice President of the United States. Once the President and Vice President are impeached and cannot exercise presidential powers, the Speaker of the House of Representatives will replace the president. However, the current analysis believes that the above situation is less likely to happen.
For the Democratic Party, Pelosi, who is about to lose her position as speaker, stressed that before the House Democratic leader voted on November 30, she publicly stated that she was focusing on the future of the Democratic Party, not her own.
She said, "There are many ways to exert influence. The speaker has strong power, but I will always have influence." (Source: CCTV News, China News Network, Cailianshe; compiled by: Li Yunpeng)
