Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: The Republicans in the US were able to achieve a majority of 218 seats in the House of Representatives; accordingly, the party now has control of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

According to the announcement of this media outlet, the US House of Representatives has also come under Republican control, and considering the majority of votes in the US House of Representatives, they now have complete control of Congress.

As the final results of the US Congressional elections, which were held simultaneously with the presidential elections on November 5 (last week), continue to be determined, the CBS network announced that the US Republicans have now achieved the quorum required to gain a majority in this chamber of Congress by capturing 218 seats in the House of Representatives.

CBS added that the network's estimates suggest that at the end of the final count, Republicans will be able to win between 220 and 222 seats in the House of Representatives.

According to the BBC, although the Republican majority in the House of Representatives will be very close and somewhat fragile with only 2 to 4 seats over the required quorum, the Republicans' victory in winning the majority of votes in the Senate will now give them complete control of the US Congress, and from next January, when Donald Trump officially begins his second term as president, the Republicans will be able to approve and implement their policies more easily by controlling the two main branches of government in their country - the executive and legislative branches.

The other independent branch of the US government system - the judiciary - will also be largely aligned with the Republicans, with the presence of six conservative judges on the country's Supreme Court, according to observers.
