Summary/Abstract: Initial results of the midterm elections to the U.S. Congress indicate that the Republican Party will take control of the House of Representatives. It may be uncertain until early December whether Republicans will be able to take control of the Senate. Losing control of even one chamber of Congress could make it difficult for President Joe Biden to implement his major initiatives in the next two years in office. However, the election is seen primarily as a failure for Republican candidates backed by Donald Trump.
