According to media reports, two more members from the two US states of Georgia and California took the oath of office in front of Vice President Kamala Harris yesterday, after which the Democrats got a majority in the Senate for the first time in 10 years. Commenting on this, Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democratic majority in the Senate, stressed the importance of democratic values in the United States and said that there is more need to strengthen democracy than the riots that toppled our great democracy. He referred to the January 6 violence and said that when former US President Donald Trump attacked the Capitol building rejecting the results of the presidential election; it was an attack on democracy and the victory of the newly elected president.
Yesterday, three members of the Senate were sworn in as members of Congress by the Democratic Party, marking the first time in 10 years that Democrats have dominated Congress. Georgia Democrats Raphael Warnock and California’s Jon Ossoff were sworn in in the Senate hours after President Joe Biden was sworn in. Notably, Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff won two surprise re-election victories on January 5. The Senate was divided between Republicans and Democrats in 50 seats. After the election of Vice President Kamala Harris, both parties had equal representation and only one vote could be decisive. As a result, the Democrats got two more members, giving them a majority in the Senate.
