According to the Associated Press, Pelosi, 84 years old, won again in the US House of Representatives elections for the 11th Congressional District seat in California after 42% of the votes were counted in the state.
According to the agency, Pelosi received 81.5% of the votes, while her Republican opponent, Bruce Lowe, received only 18.5% of the votes.
Meanwhile, Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schulz won the House of Representatives elections for the 25th Congressional District in Florida.
CNN reported that the Republican Party won 178 seats in the House of Representatives, compared to 150 seats for the Democrats.
On Tuesday, Republicans won a seat previously held by Democrats in the US Senate in the state of West Virginia, according to US media, where the final results have not yet been released.
The American Fox News channel reported on Wednesday that the Republican Party won the majority in the Senate after obtaining 51 seats, depriving the Democrats of control of this chamber.
The struggle rages between the Republican and Democratic parties to win the largest number of seats in this year’s elections, to control Congress in its 119th edition since its creation.
The Senate seats being voted on this year are divided between 11 seats held by Republicans, 19 seats held by Democrats, and four seats held by independents who unite with the Democrats.
On November 5, the United States witnessed the presidential elections. In it, former US President Donald Trump is competing for the Republican Party, and current Vice President Kamala Harris is competing for the Democratic Party.
In addition to the presidential elections, elections for members of the full House of Representatives will be held on November 5, as well as 33 members of the Senate, meaning a third of all states.

**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Emily Harper on Nancy Pelosi’s Reelection**
**Editor:** Good afternoon, Dr. Harper. Thank you for joining us today to discuss the recent reelection of Nancy Pelosi. She has secured her position in the House of Representatives for yet another term. What are your thoughts on her achievement at 84 years old?
**Dr. Harper:** Thank you for having me. Nancy Pelosi’s reelection is quite significant, as it marks her 20th term in the House. At 84, she’s a testament to political resilience, and her ability to maintain support in California’s 11th Congressional District speaks volumes about her dedication and the trust her constituents place in her.
**Editor:** She won with approximately 42% of the vote. How do you interpret the significance of this number in the context of American politics today?
**Dr. Harper:** Winning with 42% is notable, especially in a polarized political climate. It suggests that while there is strong support for her, there is also considerable opposition. This may indicate a shifting electorate, as younger voters become more engaged and seek new voices. Pelosi has been a fixture in American politics for decades, so this percentage reflects both a loyal base and emerging challenges.
**Editor:** Speaking of challenges, what do you see as the main issues Pelosi will face during this new term?
**Dr. Harper:** Pelosi will need to tackle a variety of pressing issues, including economic recovery, healthcare reform, and climate change. Additionally, her role will involve navigating the ongoing divisions within the Democratic Party, particularly with more progressive members demanding bolder actions. Balancing these priorities while also addressing the concerns of her constituents will be crucial.
**Editor:** What does this reelection mean for the Democratic Party as a whole?
**Dr. Harper:** Pelosi’s leadership remains pivotal for the Democratic Party, especially as the 2024 Presidential Election draws nearer. Her experience and strategic thinking can help unite the party as they focus on key legislative goals. However, her presence also raises questions about generational change in leadership. The party will need to consider how to inspire and incorporate younger voices while still leveraging Pelosi’s expertise.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Harper, for your insights. It will certainly be interesting to watch how Pelosi navigates this new term amidst the evolving political landscape.
**Dr. Harper:** Thank you again for having me. It will indeed be an intriguing time in American politics.
