Midterms: Arizona and Nevada decide races for Senate
First report from November 11th: Phoenix / Carson City – Even two days after the midterms it is not clear who won the important midterm elections in the USA. in the US House of Representatives Republicans are heading towards the projected victory, even if it won’t be as clear as expected. The midterms did not wash over the country with a “red wave”.
But everything is still possible – for both parties. The second chamber of the US Congress in particular remains highly competitive. In three states, the results of the midterms are not known. In Georgia, Democrat Raphael Warnock is just ahead of Republican Herschel Walker. However, neither candidate will exceed the 50 percent mark required by the state. That in turn means that a runoff election on December 6th will determine the winner.
Midterms: Races in the Senate particularly exciting
In two other states, the midterms are still counted in the Senate election: Arizona and Nevada. Both races are on a knife edge. In Arizona, Democrat Mark Kelly leads Republican Blake Masters. In Nevada it’s the other way around. Here Adam Paul (R) lies in front of Catherine Cortez Masto.
In Arizona, after the experience of the 2020 US election, people are particularly cautious, which in turn slows down the counting of votes in the midterms. That’s why election officer Bill Gates keeps calling for patience. It is expected that a result for the Arizona Senate will not be known until the weekend.
In Nevada, the electoral authority has already announced that it will continue counting at least until Friday. The state had switched its electoral system to mail-in voting just before the midterms, which is now slowing the counting of votes for the Senate.
Midterms: Who Will Win the Senate? Possible scenarios
Because the Democrats have 48 seats in the Senate and the Republicans have 49 seats so far, the results from Arizona and Nevada are so important. Should either party win both races, the question of a majority in the US Senate would be answered. If, as previously forecast, each party can claim one of the states for itself, the USA would have to wait until December 6th. In that case, the Georgia runoff will determine a majority in the US Senate. (Daniel Dillmann)
