9. Divided voters elect evenly split US Congress

• A deeply divided American electorate delivered a Congress so evenly split that even by November 9, 2022 afternoon, it was not clear who would control the bicameral US legislature.
• However, it seems that Republicans will have a thin majority in the House of Representatives and may even take the Senate by a seat or two.
• The results also thwarted Republican plans to impeach President Biden for allegedly stealing the 2020 elections.
• A Congress so divided would provide enough space for US President Joe Biden to use his veto in a dispute with the legislature, without fearing the repercussions. Congress can overturn a veto, but only with a two-thirds vote both in the Senate and the House.
• Among President Biden`s predecessors, Donald Trump used the veto 10 times, Barack Obama 12 times and George W. Bush 12 times when facing a hostile Congress
