in the house of representatives there's a lot of results that are still trickling in but almost all the analysts that are looking at the results are saying that they most likely have won the u.s. house of representatives now that means a number of things this is the first time in eight years that the democratic party will have control of the u.s. house of representatives and this could mean new investigations into donald trump they will have the ability to give subpoenas and to get their hands on some key documents related to trump and other people in his cabinet they my you may want to look into further more they'll have the ability to block trump's bills you know as u.s. law legislative procedure requires that both houses you know support a bill so if they control one house they could block legislation that the president was backing now talk of impeachment now the u.s. house of representatives does have the ability to bring charges against the president in the form of impeachment however it would be the senate that would then vote to remove in the senate remains solidly in the hands of republicans now it's important to know that this election had a massive turnout u.s. midt

now those two houses belong to two different parties this is the first time in eight years that the democrats have had control of the u.s. house of representatives now this is centrally means a split government and with control of the house of representatives the democrats will have the ability to launch more investigations into donald trump they'll have the ability to subpoena people and bring them before congress also they'll have the ability to get their hands on some key documents now people are asking could this mean impeachment now the way the u.s. constitution lays that out the democrats with control of the house will be able to bring impeachment charges against the president however it is the senate that would vote to remove the president in the event of an impeachment trial so the senate remains solidly republican however at this point a government shutdown is a real possibility because in order for legislation to pass the u.s. congress both houses have to sign on to it so with the democrats having the ability to shut down legislation they could essentially shut down the government as has happened under the obama administration and prev

u.s. house of representatives as we said ending eight years of republican rule in the house we can take it over now to the u.s. senate and the hopes of the democrats to retake control there were dash to early in the evening in fact the republicans not only maintaining control of the u.s. senate they have also taken extra seats now surpassing the fifty seats needed to control the u.s. senate in texas republican ted cruz he has survived what was considered the most serious challenge to his seat in the u.s. said it cruz held his ground against the democratic challenger but over wark democratic challenger earned almost a celebrity status in his bid to unseat the incumbent but in the end it was not enough despite. the democrat being able to for in millions of dollars into his campaign coffers for the senate race cruz is still the u.s. senator from texas in the last hour the us president donald trump he has given his first reaction to the outcome of the elections in very typical trump style he tweeted simply this tremendous success tonight thank you to all our those take the story now to our was

u.s. senator. this year we have eight women running in the 18 congressional districts in the state. at leastd of the day, three and possibly for women womene elected -- four will be elected to the u.s. house of representatives. nationally there are 84 women and the house of representatives. almost half of the democratic nominees for congress for the house around the country are females. at the end of the day we will have more than 100 women in the house. that will be a record. or fourylvania, three will be a record for our state as well. that's another important aspect of this congressional election. host: our first call comes from dennis in williamsport, pennsylvania. go-ahead. caller: thank you for taking my call. i would like to comment on the fact that every republican out there, including our local representative tom marino now claims -- the republicans, now claim they are for pre-existing conditions. they are trying to pull the wool over the voters' eyes, because at the same time they are backing, along with the trump administration, a lawsuit to do away with the exact same thing, pre-existing conditions. i find it pretty ironic they are trying to pull the wool over the voters' eyes on that issue. and

u.s. house of representatives have flipped from republican to democrat the first of them was in virginia and now we have the second one in florida that were under the control of a republican but now a democrat has been reluctant to replace them in the house of representatives now this is the midterm vote that's happening in the united states the midterm elections take place between the presidential elections we have a presidential election every four years and then every two years there is a congressional vote that takes place in the midterm now tonight we have the house of representatives the representatives running for their seat also a number of senate seats are up for grabs a number of governorships are also up for grabs and we're seeing the results as they come in official results are expected within the next few hours but essentially this is a struggle for control of congress that's taking place as americans go to the polls now interestingly google has been publishing what are some trending searches taking place throughout the day related to the midterm votes one of them is who to vote
