Joe Biden preparing for ‘horrible two years’ if Republicans win

Joe Biden is preparing for a “horrible two years” if Republicans win control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Republicans are very confident of recapturing the Senate with the battle for the House has been widely seen as a toss-up throughout the campaign.Speaking at a fundraiser in Chicago on Friday Mr Biden braced attendees for defeat and hinted he may attempt veto the legislative efforts of a Republican Congress.He said: “If we lose the House and Senate, it’s going to be a horrible two years.”The good news is I’ll have a veto pen.’ Joe Biden at a rally in Maryland on Monday (Image: Getty Images )Fifty one seats are required to take control of the Senate and Republicans, as of writing, have won 40 compared to 39 for the Democrats.Republican Florida Senator Marco Rubio comfortably won re-election, giving credence to the claim by Donald Trump that hispanic voters are increasingly deserting the Democrats.However, there does appear to be some more positive news for Democrats elsewhere with Raphael Warnock leading former NFL star and Trump favourite Herschel Walker with 60 percent of the vote counted.In Pennsylvania, John Fetterman is leading Mehmet Oz but only 20 percent of the vote has been counted and as in Georgia the Democrats are heavily reliant on voters in urban areas and rural votes which may come in later could swing the contest in favour of the Republicans.READ MORE: US midterms LIVE: Trump declares victory for Republican PartyThis is not a red tsunami.
