The Democratic Party managed to limit the damage better than expected in the midterm elections, and prevented former President Donald Trump from forming a tide in Congress that he was betting on to return to the White House.

On Tuesday night, the Republicans seemed well placed to win a majority in the House of Representatives, albeit by a narrow margin.

In the Senate, Democratic President Joe Biden's 79-year-old camp snatched from the Republicans the seat that was the most contested in this election,

Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman won after a tense evening and a grueling vote-counting process, giving Biden hope to retain control of the Senate, where Republicans have so far had a slight lead in the polls.

The final line-up for the Senate is now hanging on four seats: Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and Wisconsin, a large number of states, as the counting of votes can take several days.

After a heated campaign centered on inflation, Republicans were confident of denying Joe Biden his majority in Congress, especially as his popularity waned.

The midterm elections, which are held two years after the presidential elections, are a vote that punishes the incumbent administration.

The Republicans were optimistic about grabbing seats in constituencies considered settled for the Democrats.

However, the Republican Party, which is estimated to gain an additional number of seats (10, 25 or even 30), is forced to lower the ceiling of its expectations.
