Mid-term elections: Nicole Malliotakis, Chris Pappas, Gus Bilirakis, John Sarbanes back in the House of Representatives

Dina Titus continues to fight her own battle

Newsroom November 9 02:13

The “Red wave” predicted by many pollsters did not prevail in the mid-term elections held in the US with former president Donald Trump calling for a recount and calling his supporters to protests.

The appearances of the two former US presidents, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, in Joe Biden’s campaign speeches helped, as the international media point out. The 78-year-old president’s Democrats have lost control of the House of Representatives, as analysts had predicted, as it is customary in mid-term elections for the ruling party to weaken and lose one of the two legislative houses of Congress.

However, the “Red wave” did not prevail, i.e. an overwhelming victory of the Republicans. After all, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham was quick to confirm this in his statements on the NBC network: “Certainly, this is not a Republican wave.”

Once Democrats lose control of the House of Representatives, it will be harder for Biden to govern. However, the big battle is in the Senate as, so far, no party has won or lost a seat, according to Edison Research.

As CNN points out, for seven important seats in the Senate (out of 100) we have so far no valid information: one of them is Georgia where the battle of the two candidates of the Republicans and the Democrats will not be decided until the very end. With Fetterman’s victory to win the Pennsylvania Senate seat, just months after he suffered a stroke, Democrats are breathing a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, all eyes are on Georgia, Nevada and Arizona. As the Associated Press reports, Democrats won critical seats in the House of Representatives on the east coast and managed to retain the Senate seat in New Hampshire.

Four of the five expatriate candidates secured their election to the House of Representatives in the US midterm elections, with the fifth fighting hard against her opponent.

Specifically, Nicole Malliotakis, Chris Pappas, Gus Bilirakis and John Sarbanis will now be in the House of Representatives, while Dina Titus continues to fight her own battle.

At the same time, Greece gains another ally in Congress, who is expected to become a member of the Hellenic Council. Robert Menendez Jr., the son of the head of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, Robert Menendez, was declared the winner against the Republican Marcos Arroyo in the 8th District of New Jersey.
