Republicans favored to retake US House, Senate up for grabs

The Republican Party is on course to regain control of the US House of Representatives, according to several news organizations that are tracking the midterm election vote count.

In the Senate, the Democrats and GOP are neck and neck.

According to AP, Democrats and Republicans so far have 47 seats each in Senate.

Should both parties end up with 50, Democrats will still control the Senate due to Vice President Kamala Harris’ tie-breaking vote.

0fficials have warned that it could take more time than usual to finalize the results, especially in swing states with competitive races.

Republicans had hoped for a huge victory in a ‘red wave’ by capitalizing on inflation and soaring gas prices.
