Thus, this is the first time since the 2006 election that Republicans have returned to control the US Senate.
Meanwhile, the race for 435 seats in the House of Representatives is not very exciting as analysts predict victory will still belong to the Republican Party.
According to CBS News, the Republicans still consolidate their majority in the House of Representatives and will win at least 226 of the 435 seats in the House. NBC even forecasts that the Republicans will have a majority of 242 seats.
According to analysts, the midterm election results will have a huge impact on the future of the Democratic Party because President Obama's administration will have to "live with an opposition Congress" during the last two years of its term.
At that time, the first black president of the United States will have to end his second term with difficulty when the power and influence of the opposition is increasing in Washington./.
