u. s. president, jo biden's democratic party is to fight predictions and retained power in the senate that was confirmed after the democratic incumbent in nevada sen, catherine cortez musto, narrowly defeated, her republican challenger at m like salt, who was endorsed by former president donald trump. that was my camera reports for washington. the results cast doubt on trump's influence over the party. ah, the democrats seize control of the senate. catherine cortez musto, winston nevada, giving the democratic party 50 seats, and with the casting boats at the vice president, a majority in the chamber. i'm not surprised by the turn out. i am incredibly please. i think it's a reflection of quality. we're kelly's in the. they're all running on the same program when anybody wouldn't run on what we do or all stay sticky with. so

i feel good. i'm looking forward to there couple years. republican adam lex, that becomes yet another trump supported candidate to lose earlier the democratic party, one in the state of arizona where former astronaut mark kelly defeated republican blake masters. i think the democrats have faced the central dilemma in this campaign. it became more and more obvious that inflation was going to dominate the elections. but it's hard to campaign on fighting inflation when the problem has spiraled out of control under your watch and to clear loose in the mid term elections. his former president, donald trump, whose endorsement of so many losing candidates, will call into question his outsized influence in the republican party. it may be, i read another of his choices. herschel walker is likely to pace an uphill battle in a runoff election in georgia next month. the counting of votes is continuing in the house of representative elections. republicans still hold a slight lead,

but the democrats have closed the gap with some surprising winds in the past 24 hours. but even if republicans do take control of the house, it will be by the slimmest of margins, and with control of the senate. president biden will still have a lot of leeway to press forward with his legislative agenda. ah, above all these midterm elections have cemented his stature as a leader, which in turn will give him a greater degree of control over his party. mike, hannah, i'll jazeera washington. so this is, was a senate victory looks like for the democrats have kept 50 seats and the republicans at $49.00. the swing state of georgia is to hold a one off election in december. but even if the republicans win and the senate is split evenly, the democratic vice president, common harris, can cast a tie, breaking vote. will the democrats have kept control of the senate,

abortion played a much bigger role than we anticipated in motivating people over up kitchen table or inflation issues. and the 2nd thing is only 7 percent of the electorate is now independent or years ago was 12 percent. so people are in their tribes and that 70 percent heavily in favor of democrats, largely on social issues. and i think there will be a very hot, they contested fight for the nomination. and it will be a question whether trump loyalist, who love ron de santis will abandon president trump and vote for a pro trump type candidate. so i think it will be a very dismissive, i'm almost certain to president president. trump will announce next week that he was you seeking that the presidential nomination, and we'll wait and see if these other contenders decide to join in the quarterly is army and m. 23 rebels are battling for control of the town of cuba in north kiva.
