Trump triumphs: Control over House of Representatives in danger!

Washington, USA - Washington (dpa)-After Donald Trump's triumphal victory in the US presidential election, all attention is paid to the decisive votes in the House of Representatives. For Trump, it is of the utmost importance that the Republicans keep control of this parliamentary chamber in order to be able to enforce his legislative proposals without the blockade by the Democrats. The Republicans have already secured the majority in the Senate on the election night, but the counting of the votes for the House of Representatives remains exciting.

Although Trump has already reached the necessary number of election people for his move into the White House, the voices in some states have not yet been fully counted. In the meantime, the trump's trump is also hotly discussed after the storm on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. A suspected murder plot against the designated president makes additional headlines and throws a shadow on his victory.

Republicans optimistic, Democrats fight for turning

The Republicans are confident that they are defending their majority in the House of Representatives. Republican spokesman Mike Johnson already announced on the election evening that his party was expecting an expansion of her majority. But the Democrats are not beaten. Hakeem Jeffries, the democratic minority leader, emphasizes on X that control over the House of Representatives has not yet been decided and that every voice must be counted. Current numbers show that the Republicans have won 212 seats by Friday evening, while the Democrats hold 200 seats. 218 seats are necessary for the majority, and in several competitive constituencies it is still counted, which could delay the final results.

In the presidential election, it looks clearer: Trump has also won the competitive state of Nevada for himself, which continues to advance to the "Swing States" on the way to a possible victory. But while Trump cheers, his legal problems come into focus again. Several procedures run against him, and the investigators face an unprecedented challenge because the president largely enjoys immunity. A special investigator plans to make a decision about the procedure by December 2nd.

The U.S. Ministry of Justice is particularly explosive, which accuses the Iran of a murder compete against Trump. A 51-year-old Iranian with Afghan citizenship claimed that he had been commissioned to murder Trump. This threat is classified as credible and causes excitement in the election campaign. Trump's team has already been informed about "concrete threats" and arrest warrants against the suspects were issued. The situation remains tense and the developments around Trump and his presidency are still of the highest explosiveness.
