US presidential election results'in the fog'... Presidential decision, if you go to Congress?

<Anchor>

I really want to go this far, but if the winner is not confirmed until next month, the US House of Representatives is supposed to re-elect president.

That is why the Senate and House elections held this time with the presidential election are getting more attention.

Reporter Baekwoon will explain the details.

<Reporter> Before the

election, the Democratic Party was even overwhelmed by the Republican Party in both the Senate and House, but when I opened the ballot box, it was tense.

The Senate with 100 members is replaced by a third every two years. Of the 35 newly elected in this election, the Republican Party has secured 17 so far, more than the 12 Democrats.

In the House of Representatives, with a total of 435, the Democratic Party has 199, leading the Republican Party with 188.

American media believe that Republicans will retain the Senate majority and secure more seats in the House than ever before.

However, it seems that the Democratic Party will continue to take the initiative in the House of Representatives, and the results of the parliamentary elections are attracting unprecedented attention as the results of the presidential election fall into the fog.

If the president-elect is not confirmed by the end of next month, the decision will be transferred to the House of Representatives in January next year.

However, at this time, 435 members of the House of Representatives do not exercise one vote at a time, but each state exercise one vote.

Even in California with a large number of lawmakers, the Democratic Party will have one vote, and even in states with a small number of lawmakers, if there are many Republican lawmakers, all will exercise one vote.

Looking at state by state, there are 10 more states with a majority of Republicans, or Republican votes so far.

If even the House of Representatives is unable to elect a president until January 20, next year, when Trump is in office, the Vice President elected from the Senate will act as president, and the Republican Party is dominant for now.

In the worst case, when neither the House of Representatives nor the Senate are able to elect a president and vice president, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will act as president until the election.
