First victory but with nuance Republicans celebrate victory in Guam: On the Pacific island - a major US military base and US overseas territory - Republicans won the gubernatorial election for the first time in eight years, ousting the ruling Democratic Party. The candidates ran concurrently: Republican Tony Ada ran for governor, and former island chief Eddie Calvo ran for his lieutenant governorship. According to preliminary calculations, they received 51.5% of the votes (15,945 ballots), winning with 48.1% over the candidates of the Democratic Party, Terez Trelahi and Sabina Perez. With a turnout of 53%, the gap was only 1,020 votes. The intrigues continued until the last: at first the Democrats led, but late polls turned the situation around. True, the victory of the Republicans was not complete. In the election of the island's representative to the US House of Representatives, a reversal occurred: Guam's former attorney general, Democrat Alicia Limtiako, defeated incumbent Republican James Moylan by a score of 51% to 48.8%. However, this will not affect the balance of power in Congress: Guam is a US territory, not a state, so the local representative has the status of a representative without a casting vote. He can serve on committees and promote initiatives, but does not vote in general meetings of the House of Representatives, and does not change the majority of the party. - Let's make America understandable again support us.
