The latest assessment of the defeat of the Republicans in the US Senate The non-partisan organization "Cook Political Report" announced today Tuesday and at the same time as the mid-term elections of the Congress in the United States: we have increased our assessment of the possible number of seats that the Democrats may win in the Senate to 3 to 6 seats. A political cook added in this context: Republicans have little chance of keeping the majority in the US Senate. A majority in the Senate by the Democrats is the most likely scenario.
