Kathmandu. Republicans currently hold a 53-47 Senate Majority in the Congress of the United States of America. Before Donald Trump’s final debate with the Democratic nominee, he apparently privately held talks with his donors, whereby he claimed that it would be “very tough” for the party to reclaim the Senate.

While the democrats hold the majority seats in the House of Representatives, there is a chance that they might also get a Senate majority if they emerge victorious in a few Republican states that are swinging either way right now. The chances will also increase if a 50-50 tie is reached, and Joe Biden becomes the next President, in which case his vice-President, Kamala Harris would hold the vote to break the tie.

As per the surfacing reports, the President has been reluctant to support a few of the Republicans in the Senate. He had claimed that “The Senate is very tough,” while he maintained that the Republicans would take the Senate back during the final 2020 Presidential debate. In a rally held in Nashville, Tennessee, however, an anonymous source told The Washington Post of the President’s comments behind closed doors, whereby Trump supposedly said that, “There are a couple senators I can’t really get involved in. I just can’t do it. You lose your soul if you do. I can’t help some of them. I don’t want to help some of them.”

The GOP Senators, in turn, have been cautious with the President’s current standing in the various polls that show him to be considerably behind Joe Biden. In the few weeks that were left before the November 3 elections, and the final debate, the Republican whip and South Dakota Sen. John Thune had indicated that the President needed to stop attacking Dr. Anthony Fauci, the media and Joe Biden, and stated that Trump had to “stay disciplined to do it, and I think that’s how you’re going to win over the middle people.”

On the issue of Trump not supporting the Republicans in the Senate, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jesse Hunt expressed that he was unsure that the President could have actually said the things mentioned in the Post’s report. As per Hunt, “The Republican-led Senate and President Trump have had a great partnership over the last four years, highlighted by the fact the chamber is poised to confirm a third Trump Supreme Count Court nominee in the coming days.”

The Democrats are targeting Maine, North Carolina and Iowa in their run to gain the Senate majority. With the race in full-swing, the fate of the Senate seats and the Presidential elections are still uncertain. The final results will be made known on November 3, the Election Day in the US.
