What does Trump believe in?... When things go wrong, the House of Representatives decides

<Anchor>

If the lawsuit continues and the votes are delayed and the elected person is not confirmed until next month, the US House of Representatives will vote for the president next January.

For this reason, the results of the US Congressional elections held with this presidential election are also important, and reporter Baek Woon will tell you about this.

Before the election, it was discussed that the Democratic Party dominated 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.

US media believes the Republican Party will hold more seats in the House of Representatives than before, while maintaining the Senate majority.

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 one vote per state.

Even in California with a large number of legislators, one Democratic party vote, and even in states with a small number of legislators, if there are many Republicans, all of them will be voted one.

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

If even the House of Representatives cannot elect a president by the term of President Trump's term of office on January 20, next year, the vice president elected from the Senate will act as the president.

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.
