Trump raises early suspicions about the vote, after a series of technical problems occurred in two hanging states, Arizona and Michigan. Uncertainties and appeals, the US vote at risk of chaos. Biden: 'Let's defend democracy'. Tycoon: 'I will make a big announcement on November 15th.' This election round paves the way for the race to the White House of 2024 - LO SPECIAL (ANSA)


A few hours after the polls close for the Midterm elections,

Republicans slowly advance towards conquering the House while the Senate hangs in the balance

, still hanging on head-to-head challenges like those in Pennsylvania between the deputy governor of the dem John Fetterman and the surgeon. Mehmet Oz and in Georgia between reverend dem Rafael Warnock and former football champion Herschel Walker.

For now, however, the red wave in which the Grand Old Party was hoping has not materialized and the Democrats seem to have at least avoided the catastrophe.

According to the latest updated data,

the Elephant party has snatched six seats in the Chamber (only 1 dem), while in the upper house it is parity (46 to 46 with 8 states still to be

assigned)

.

It is feared that perhaps it will take days to have the final results, while the risk of new chaos and new causes, such as those that have threatened the Republicans, looms. 

The first suspicions were raised by Donald Trump after a series of technical problems that occurred in two hanging states, Arizona and Michigan.

"Is the same thing happening that happened in 2020 with electoral fraud?", He asked on his social Truth, pointing the finger at the dysfunctions in Detroit and in Maricopa County (which includes Phoenix), where an appeal was rejected. of the Grand Old Party to postpone the closing of polling stations.

However, the tycoon waits to measure his grip on the party by the victories of his candidates.

And if it did well in some duels, like with the financier-writer JD


Vance, who made headlines for his book that later became a film on Netflix 'Hillbilly Elegy', in Pennsylvanya took a resounding slap with the defeat of his ally (denier) Doug Mastriano, beaten by the attorney general dem Josh Shapiro in the race to governor.

The Donkey party wins the race for the governor also in the fiefdoms of California with Gavin Newsom (as expected) and of New York with Kathy Hochul (with some difficulty), but loses it in Georgia with Stacey Abrams, defeated for the second time by Brian Kemp (a Republican hostile to Trump).

A flop in series that adds to that of Beto O'Rourke in the Texas race for the Senate, the third consecutive debable in 4 years.

Many records of this electoral round: among others the dem Maura Healey, first woman and first openly gay candidate to be elected governor of Massachusetts, the dem Wes Moore first African American governor of Maryland, the 25 year old Maxwell Alejandro Frost first member of generation Z to get a seat in Congress, all from the Democratic Party.

LIVE RESULTS:

Democrat Gretchen Whitmer won in Michigan and was re-elected governor.

According to Fox projections, Gretchen beat Republican Tudor Dixon.

American House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was re-elected.

According to US media projections, McCarthy established himself in California's 20th district: he beat Democrat Marissa Wood and kept her seat in Congress.

Democrat Kathy Hochul won in New York and was re-elected governor of the state.

This is what emerges from the ABC and NBC projections.

For Hochul it was a painful victory given the comeback of his Republican rival Lee Zeldin, supported by Donald Trump.

Democrat James Roesener became the first transgender man to be elected to the House for New Hampshire.

The Washington Post reports.

Transgender women had been elected in the past, and there are currently eight trans MPs across the United States.

Republican Brian Kemp inflicts another defeat on Democrat Stacey Abrams.

According to US media projections, Kemp beat Abrams for the second time and was confirmed governor of Georgia.

The dem would have already called the gop and admitted defeat.

Democrat Maggie Hassan was instead re-elected to the Senate in New Hampshire, in a seat the Republicans hoped to snatch.

She reports it from CNN.

Hassan defeated Republican Don Bolduc, supported by Donald Trump.

Republican JD Vance, who hit the headlines for his book that later became a film on Netflix 'Hillbilly Elegy', won in Ohio: he beat Democrat Tim Rian and won a seat in the Senate.

Long identified as a 'never Trumper' (never with Trump), Vance recently retraced his steps and embraced the tycoon theories by becoming a supporter of him.

This is what emerges from the projections of Nbc and Abc.

Democrat Gavin Newsom has instead been confirmed as governor of California, as was widely expected.

Newson is one of the aspiring liberal candidates in the White House for 2024.

Democrat Josh Shapiro defeated Republican Doug Mastriano, becoming governor of Pennsylvania.

This is what emerges from the projections of Nbc and Fox.

The Attorney General's victory is a slap in the face of Donald Trump and delivers a major success to the Democrats in a key state for the 2024 elections. Mastriano shared allegations of electoral fraud and had contributed to the assault on the Capitol.

Dem Senator Michael Bennett instead retains his seat in Colorado, defeating Republican Joe O'Dea in a contest in which the Grand Old Party hoped to snatch a seat.

Greg Abbott is confirmed governor of Texas.

The Republican, among the candidates for the White House, beat the Democrat Beto O'Rourke, who thus collects a new defeat after the one in the presidential primary of 2020 and the Midterm of 2018 against Ted Cruz for the Senate.

This is what emerges from the Fox projections.

The 'libertarian' Republican Senator Rand Paul has instead obtained re-election in Kentucky: he is in the third term.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican ally of Donald Trump and supporter of the 'Big lie' of the stolen 2020 US elections, won in Georgia and was re-elected to the American House.

This is what emerges from the projections of the US media.

Republican Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a former Trump White House spokesperson, wins in Arkansas and becomes the governor of the state.

According to American media projections, Huckabee Sanders beat Democrat Chris Jones.

25-year-old Democrat Maxwell Alejandro Frost wins in Florida and grabs a seat in the House, becoming the first Generation Z member to get a seat in the US Congress.

Social justice activist, Frost is a former member of March For Our Lives, the movement that calls for stricter gun controls born after the Parkland school massacre.

Republican Markwayne Mullin will be the first Native American senator in Oklahoma in nearly 100 years.

Mullin is the second Cherokee to represent the state, after Robert Owen from 1907 to 1925.

Democrat Maura Healey is the first woman and the first openly gay candidate to be elected governor of Massachusetts.

Healey defeated Donald Trump-backed Republican candidate Geoff Diehl.

Democrat Wes Moore wins and becomes the first African American governor in Maryland's history, according to US media projections.

With Moore's victory, the dems take back the government of the state after two terms of the Republican Larry Hogan.

Republican Marco Rubio won the race for the Senate at Midterm in Florida.

Rubio is the candidate supported by Donald Trump, who closed his campaign in Miami.

For him this is the third term.

Republican Katie Britt has become the first woman to be elected to the Senate in Alabama, a historic milestone for the South American state. Britt takes over from other Republican Richard Shelby, of whom she was an assistant.

The Republican governor of Florida, the Italian-American Ron DeSantis, was confirmed in the Midterm elections.

It is the projection of various US media.

DeSantis is among the possible candidates for the White House, where he would be Donald Trump's main rival if the tycoon also takes the field, as he has hinted.

Republican Tim Scott wins Senate re-election in South Carolina, beating Democrat Krystle Matthews.

He reports CNN.

Scott is the only Republican African-American in the US Senate, and re-election could pave the way for much greater ambitions.

His name is in fact circulated as a possible candidate for the US presidential elections in 2024 or later.

Scott was named a senator in 2013 by former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley after Jim DeMint's resignation.

"Whatever the outcome, the Democrats will respect the vote."

This was stated by the speaker of the American House Nancy Pelosi, in an interview with Pbs.

16% of American voters voted in support of Donald Trump in the Midterm elections, while 28% voted against the former US president.

This is what emerges from the Cnn exit polls, according to which 54% of those interviewed believe the Republican party is too extremist.

63% of American voters believe that Joe Biden legitimately won the 2020 election. And 80% said they were confident about the correctness of the vote.

YESTERDAY DAY:

For the first time since the assault on the Capitol, an increasingly divided America returned to the polls in the

Midterm

elections to decide the fate of the country and part of the world as well, leaving it perhaps hanging for days due to delays in the poll. disputes, recounting and threats.

A long trail of chaos is feared, like the one that followed the last presidential elections.

And a populist drift, as Joe Biden warned when attacking the Trumpian wing of the Grand Old Party: "We are facing some of the darkest forces we have ever seen in our history. These Republicans Maga (acronym for Trump's slogan 'Make America great again ', ed) are made of another pasta, this is not the republican party of our fathers, it is a different thing ".

At stake are his agenda (including the climate chapter being discussed at COP27 in Egypt), the country's democratic stability, aid to Ukraine, Donald Trump's reapplication to the White House and his hold on the Republican party, which, moreover, has caught up with African Americans and Hispanics on issues such as inflation and crime.

If, as polls indicate, the Grand Old Party recaptures the House (which is renewing itself in its entirety) and perhaps the Senate as well, the president would become a lame duck for the next two years and would be forced to rule with executive orders between a thousand difficulties.

A scenario on which Wall Street is also betting, trusting that a "divided government" will not enact laws that could damage the profits of companies.

According to the Real Clear Politics (RCP) website, the Republicans could already count on 227 seats at the House (9 above the majority quorum) against the 174 of the DEM, with 34 races head to head.

In the Senate - where the current parity of 50 to 50 is broken only by Vice President Kamala Harris - the game would be 48 to 44 for the Elephant party, however, projected to snatch at least 3 other seats (Nevada, Georgia and Arizona) on the 8 poised.

Gop also has the advantage in the races for the position of governor in 39 states, with 18 out of 24 sure against 10 out of 15 of the dem (11 duels uncertain).

Kevin McCarthy,

Meanwhile, Donald Trump raises the first suspicions about the

Midterm

vote , after a series of technical problems that occurred in two hanging states, Arizona and Michigan.

"Is the same thing happening that happened in 2020 with electoral fraud?" He asked on his social Truth, pointing the finger at the dysfunctions in Maricopa County (which includes Phoenix) and Detroit.

Trump has made an appointment with everyone at his residence in Mar-a-Lago for November 15 for "a huge announcement", which is a prelude to his third race for the White House: a way also to better defend himself from the various inquiries that haunt him.

He was tempted to do it on the eve of Election Day to sign the awaited red wave but was dissuaded at the last minute so as not to distract the voters.

Its hold on the party will be measured by the success or otherwise of its candidates, especially in the most poised challenges for the Senate in the battleground states, such as Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, but also New Hampshire and Wisconsin. .

Trump and his entourage have however already warned that the results must be certified overnight otherwise they become "suspicious",

thus paving the way for possible disputes, as has already happened in some states such as Pennsylvania.

But with lots of head-to-head challenges and a record of over 45 million early votes it won't be easy.

"The time has come to defend democracy, the power is in your hands", was the last appeal of a despite everything "optimistic" Biden, convinced that the dem will win in the Senate while for the House, he admitted, " it will be harder ";

while if the Republicans take over the entire Congress it will be "two horrible years".

Only the American director and activist Michael Moore, who in 2016 was among the few to predict Trump's victory, predicts a "blue tsunami" thanks to a massive influx of young people and women.

as has already happened in some states such as Pennsylvania.
