The Democrats narrow the gap in the Senate with the Republicans. The opposition party has unexpectedly won the Arizona state. Meanwhile, the winning candidate from the Democrats is also the first bisexual woman to enter the Senate.
Democrat candidate Kyrsten Sinema has won the U.S. Federal Senate race for Arizona, defeating Republican Martha McSally and thus becoming Arizona's first woman senator since 1994.
Sinema is also the first candidate in the Senate to have openly admitted to being bisexual, while Republican rival McSallu, who defeated her is the first US Army woman to fly a fighter plane.
At the beginning of the vote count, the victory seemed certain for Republicans, but on Thursday evening the passing of Sinema took place.
This democratic victory makes it less complete than it was previously reported, the majority of Donald Trump's party in the new Senate to begin work in January: on the basis of the results of the semi-mandan election, the Republicans own 51 senators against 47 Democrats.
Meanwhile, two other challenges for the Senate remain unresolved: Mississippi, where on November 27th it will go to the runoff; and the one in Florida, where former Governor Rick Scott and outgoing senator Bill Nelson face.
Recounting of votes is necessary for this challenge. Republicans and President Trump, however, have voiced opposition to this development.
