Florida tycoon Ken Griffin anticipates that after the midterms the Democrats will retake control of the House of Representatives
Kenneth Cordele Griffin, a finance mogul from Florida, projects how, through the midterm elections held in November, Democrats will retake control of the House of Representatives.
During an interview given to the program “The Exchange”, which broadcasts the TV channel CNBC, the hedgefund creator inclined to support the trend d e the results in previous electoral processes, where citizens generally end up giving their vote to the disadvantaged party in mid-term elections.
“It is almost certain that the Democrats will take over the House of Representatives. That is the trend of almost all the midterm electoral cycles: the seats in the House lean in favor of the opposition party,” he mentioned.
With regard to the Senate, Griffin assures that conservatives will continue to be the majority, but since before the end of the year, the fight to approve bills and presidential initiatives will be tighter.
“It is almost certain that the Republicans will maintain control of the Senate, but that will be the political battlefield in this electoral cycle,” he stressed.
For the moment, the Republican Party maintains a narrow lead of 217 to 212 in the House of Representatives, but in cie such chaos, by exposing some project to a vote, some of its members have turned their back supporting the democrats.
To this it must be added that, in the four of the last five mid-term elections, control of the House of Representatives has revolved in the party that It assumes the role of a minority, since from the perspective it is considered correct to exercise a counterweight in the decision-making of the federal administration in turn.
Heading to the November elections, there are five vacations in the upper house, three of them occupied by Democrats and two by Republicans.
Regarding the Senate, the Republicans have an advantage of 53 to 47. So, to turn the situation, they need to wrest from their adversaries four of the 22 seats currently in their power.
