Democrats Lost Seats In The Election

Although Biden and Harris won

Democrats did not win as they had hoped

Election night 2020 was not a good time for Democrats in the United States Senate and the House of Representatives. With Joe Biden and Kamala Harris winning the election for President and Vice President, Democrats are happy about that. Although Democrats had anticipated taking over the Senate and building on their majority in the House, it did not happen. Even though polls had shown many races to be virtually tied, the outcomes were not that good for Democrats. Republicans were able to prevail in many areas. The blue wave did not come to Congress.

Although Donald Trump received almost half of the votes cast and Joe Biden was able to get more popular votes, Democrats down the ballot did not do as well as they had expected and hoped. It appears that some Republicans voted for Republican Congressional Members but not for Trump. Democrats did not pick up the votes they needed to win a clear majority.

News commentators have indicated that Trump’s insistence that he won the “legal” votes and should be President does not make sense when you consider that Democrats did not do as well down ballot as they had expected. They say that Trump’s claim that he should have gotten more votes is absurd. The vote totals show that enough Republicans were for their own senators and representatives but were against Trump to keep Trump from victory.

Because Democrats were apparently not able to flip the Senate and actually lost some House seats, it will make it more difficult for Biden and Harris to do as much as they had expected. They will undoubtedly have more opposition in Congress than they had hoped.

Just as President Obama and Vice President Biden were unable to accomplish as much as they had hoped when the Democrats did not have control of the Congress, this may make it difficult for President-elect Biden.

Time will tell as the transition takes place. Hopefully, more unity will exist without Trump there to bring about such division with his hateful rhetoric and bullying.
