Donald Trump has been projected to win the 2024 presidential election, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris. Republican lawmakers are celebrating the victory, praising Trump’s return to the White House and touting the Republican Senate majority as a win for fiscal responsibility and American priorities.
Republican businessman Bernie Moreno has defeated incumbent Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in Ohio, flipping the Senate seat and giving Republicans a clear path to a majority in the chamber. The victory is seen as a significant win for the GOP, with reactions pouring in from politicians and commentators alike.
As the November elections approach, Democratic senators facing tough re-election campaigns are largely silent on the guilty verdict handed to former President Trump in a New York trial involving falsified business records. Incumbent Democrats in competitive races in Montana, Ohio, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania have refrained from commenting on the verdict, even as their Republican colleagues have condemned it. This silence is notable given the potential for the verdict to affect the Senate majority.
