US Elections: Biden satisfied with better than expected results

Republicans are moving towards control of the House of Representatives, but Beden noted that a giant red “wave of” did not materialise on Tuesday evening.

Each side can still win the Senate, which depends on three close - up races.

The ruling party, currently the Democrats, usually suffers losses in the president's early mid-term elections.

Republican Strategs had hoped for sweeping victories, given that inflation is at the highest level of 40 years, and Beden's approval assessments are relatively low.

However, survey data suggests voters may have punished the Republicans for their efforts to limit access to abortion.

Speaking at the White House on Wednesday afternoon, Biden said the results so far had led him to get a “sigh of relief”.

“was a good day, I think, for democracy”, he said and added that his optimism had been acquitted and beat journalists who had predicted major democratic losses.

Delighted by the best night than expected, Biden said he plans to run for re-election in 2024.

Our “Our aim is to run again, this has been our target”, he told reporters, who turns 80 this month.

Meanwhile, the Republicans were approaching the 218 countries they needed to remove control of the Chamber from the Democrats.

If the Republicans win one of Congress rooms, they'll be able to block the president's agenda. The White House is also prepared for congress investigations on the Benden administration.

The president said he is prepared to work with the republics and that he will host the two-party talks next week.
