Election 2024: Will Republicans win the Senate majority?
With Election Day nearing all eyes have been focused on whether or not the next president will be Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump. But what does Election Day mean for Congress? On the latest episode of Capitol Gains, Yahoo Finance's Rachelle Akuffo, Washington Correspondent Ben Werschkul, and Senior Columnist Rick Newman are joined by Kyle Kondik, Sabato’s Crystal Ball Managing Editor at the University of Virginia Center for Politics to discuss the future of the House and Senate following the 2024 election. Kondik believes the most likely outcome will be that the Republican Party wins the Senate and the House will follow suit of whichever candidate wins the presidency. Aside from the presidency, and while all branches of government are important, both parties are really vying for victory in the Senate. “Of the two chambers you’d rather have the Senate, particularly for the presidential party,” Kondik says. “You’re trying to get justices confirmed, you’re trying to get cabinet officials confirmed. You can imagine there being some real gridlock there if it’s a Republican Senate and Harris is president.” To find out more, listen to the full episode of Capitol Gains here.
