November 8 is the US midterm election voting day. In addition to the US Democratic Party, Republican Party and major media are closely watching the results of midterm election , other countries and regions in the world are also closely watching the US midterm election. According to the latest results released by CNN, in the Senate, the Democratic and Republican parties have 48 votes each, while the House of Representatives leads the Democratic and 178 votes with 199 votes of Republican .
In this ongoing election, Biden and his team have been very nervous, but when the results of Pennsylvania election were released, the atmosphere immediately changed. According to Global Network , citing Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao, the atmosphere in White House improved after Democratic candidate Fettman won the Senate election in the key state of Pennsylvania. The White House staff, who were originally tense, began to smile. Some people said that the Democratic Party performed better than expected.
Starting from the election voting, the atmosphere in the White House has been tense due to bad expectations
In fact, since the midterm election voting, the atmosphere in the White House has been tense. Previously, White House officials even revealed to the US media that they are ready for failure. It has to be said that for Biden, a voting day that lasts for several days is indeed a torment because this election is really too important to him.
The result of this election will mean whether Biden's governance path is very smooth in the next two years. Before the election, many polls in the United States made predictions that the Republican Party would sweep the United States with a red wave and achieve an overwhelming victory in the House election. For Biden and Democrats, losing the House seems to be a foregone conclusion, while the result of the Senate has been in uncertainty.
Although Biden and the Democrats are ready to lose the House of Representatives, if they lose too badly, this is a big problem. If the Democrats lost seats in this House election are very miserable, there is no doubt that Biden is responsible. Moreover, when the voting began on November 8, the release of a poll was even more unfavorable to Biden's situation. 70% of voters don’t want to see Biden in the presidential election two years later because he performed too poorly. Although Biden has not publicly announced his desire to seek re-election, according to American political practice, few US presidents do not seek a second term. Against this background, if the Democrats lose very badly in this House election, it is estimated that it will be very difficult for Biden to get a nomination within the Democratic Party. So if Biden’s path to govern in the next two years and the US presidential election in two years, how could Biden not feel nervous?
Biden himself is very clear about his domestic economic situation after taking office, and voters' boredom with Biden is also clearly visible. Otherwise, the Democrats would not let former President Obama take action in the final stage of the election, and go to Pennsylvania to wait. It has to be said that before the results of the Pennsylvania senator election were released, Biden and the entire White House were in a tense atmosphere. CNN described the scene well: On the evening of November 8, when many Americans went to bed, Biden and his White House advisers were staying up late to watch the midterm results, and the staff throughout the White House were tense.
You should know that Biden is already 79 years old. Even so, he still insists on staying up late to wait for the election, which shows how nervous he is.
Fettman's victory in Pennsylvania relaxed the White House
However, when the results of the Pennsylvania senator election were released, Biden and his team's nervous expression immediately relaxed. According to Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao, on the morning of November 9, Biden also uploaded a photo on social media, showing Biden himself talking with someone on his mobile phone, happily congratulating the winning Democrats.
So how important is the Pennsylvania Senate election? It can actually relax Biden's nervous heart.When Democrat Fettman won the Pennsylvania Senate seat, CNN directly described the election results as "Democrats smashed Republicans' hopes for the red wave, both parties want to win a weak majority." At the same time, CNN also said that the victory of the Pennsylvania Senate election has increased Democrats' hopes for continuing to control the Senate. AP called John Fettman's victory in Pennsylvania "the most exciting news for Democrats at the moment." The Associated Press described the Democrats' disregard for high inflation and Biden's low approval rating dragging the party down, showing amazing strength, making the ultimate control of Congress very unclear.
Through many descriptions of the US media and Biden's performance, it can be seen that Fettman's victory in Pennsylvania is indeed unusual. Pennsylvania, Georgia , Wisconsin , Arizona , and Nevada are considered to be the five key states that decide the control of the Senate in this election. Moreover, before the midterm elections, Biden, Obama, and Trump all went to Pennsylvania on the same day. Both sides shouted from a distance, and the smell of gunpowder was very strong. The three U.S. presidents appeared in Pennsylvania at the same time, which shows the importance of Pennsylvania's election.
The results of the Pennsylvania Senate election once again gave Biden the hope that the Democrats will continue to control the Senate.
As we all know, in the history of the US election, it is very common for the current president to lose the House of Representatives during his first term. Obama and Trump have experienced this, so it is acceptable for Biden to lose the House of Representatives by the Democrats because it is a practice in American politics. However, if the Senate is lost, the result will be very bad for Biden, which will make Biden criticized. Therefore, maintaining the dominance of the Senate has become a top priority.
Procedurally, it seems easier for the Democrats to maintain dominance in the Senate compared to the Republican Party, just keeping 50 seats. As a key swing state, Fettman's election result will undoubtedly bring Biden and even the DPP a hope to continue to control the Senate.
