New Congress for electoral vote certification on January 6, 2025... Ray of Hope? - 10/26/24

Important note... Keep a close eye on House and Senate winners for US Congress when polls close on November 5, 2024.

ALL 435 House representatives run for election every 2 years

1/3 of 100 Senators run for reelection / election every 2 years

In the current 118th Congress, a breakdown by party and by chamber:

House: 220 Republicans, 212 Democrats and 3 vacancies

Senate: 47 Democrats, 49 Republicans and 4 Independents

33 of 100 senators are up for election:

- 4 Independents
- 19 Democrats
- 10 Republicans

So, if more Republicans in both chambers win their elections on Election Day, the new 119th Congress could vote not to certify and send state electoral votes back to States if election results are questionable. The new Congress begins on January 3, 2025, at 12 noon.
