The seats in the Senate are formally divided equally among the parties, but since the vice president presides there, the decisive vote in an equal distribution in the voting is also reserved for the Democrats. The election, which will distribute all 435 seats in the House and 34 Senate seats, will be held on November 8. The transition of Congress to the Republicans would make it much more difficult for the current administration to advance its agenda and approve nominations for major posts.
