All the results of the US presidential election are out. Donald Trump also won the US state of Arizona on Saturday. With this, he has won all the 7 swing states. 11 seats (electoral votes) of Arizona have also come into his account. In the presidential election, Trump’s Republican Party has won 312 out of 538 seats in 50 states. At the same time, Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party has won only 226 seats despite giving a tough fight. There are a total of 538 seats in the presidential election. A figure of 270 is necessary for a majority. Arizona is counted among the swing states of America. The margin of victory here is very low. However, in the last 70 years, the Democratic Party has won here only twice. In 2020, Joe Biden won in Arizona. Trump will meet Biden at the White House US President Joe Biden will meet the next President Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday, November 13. This meeting between the two will take place at 9:30 pm Indian time. The White House gave this information late on Saturday night. It has been a tradition in America that the current president holds a formal meeting with the next president at the White House after the election. This meeting is seen as the beginning of the process of handing over power. However, when Donald Trump lost the presidential election to Joe Biden in 2020, he did not invite Biden for a meeting. Biden said – will hand over power to Trump peacefully After winning the presidential election, President Biden congratulated Trump on the phone on Wednesday itself. A day after this, on Thursday, Biden gave a statement on the defeat in the election. In this statement, Biden told that he has assured Trump to hand over power peacefully. Biden said that he has instructed his team to fully help Trump in handing over power. This is the right of the American people. Donald Trump is going to return to power for the second time after 4 years. He defeated US Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election on Wednesday. Donald Trump is the first former president after Grover Cleveland to return to power after defeat. Earlier in the 1892 elections, Grover Cleveland had also returned to power after losing. Now understand the American election results in detail… Trump’s party has majority in the upper and powerful house Senate. Along with the post of President in America, elections have also been held for both the houses of Parliament, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate is like India’s Rajya Sabha and the House of Representatives Lok Sabha. The Senate is the upper house. In its 100 seats, every state has a share of 2 seats. Elections are held every 2 years for one-third of the seats in the Senate. This time elections were held for 34 seats. With the latest results, the Republican Party has secured 52 seats, which is equal to the majority. Earlier it had 49 seats. The Senate is more powerful in America, because it has the right to approve or reject important issues like impeachment and foreign agreements. Its members are called senators, who are elected for 6 years, while in the House of Representatives, members are elected for only two years. Trump’s party is also getting close to majority in the lower house. The Republican Party is also close to majority in the House of Representatives. Elections are held every two years for its 435 seats. These are called mid-term elections. 218 seats are required for majority in the House. The Republican Party has secured 213 seats and the Democratic Party 202 seats. Counting of votes is still going on in some states. Although the upper house i.e. the Senate is powerful, both houses have the same role in running the government. Any bill can be passed by majority in either of the two houses of the Parliament. Having majority in both the houses will give Trump a free hand to make policies and make appointments to big posts. People do not vote directly for the President, electors are elected. In the US presidential election, candidates are not voted for directly. Electors are elected in their place, who contest the election in the name of the presidential candidate. The number of electors is fixed in every state. Electoral votes are fixed on the basis of population in every state of America. There are a total of 538 electoral votes in 50 states. The one who gets 270 votes is elected president. Voters vote for the electors in the state. These electors belong to the Republican or Democratic party. Usually, the presidential candidate who gets the most votes in a state gets all the seats in that state. Understand this with an example. For example, there are 19 electoral votes in Pennsylvania. If the Republican Party gets 9 votes and the Democratic Party gets 8 votes, then due to getting more votes, all 19 electoral votes will go to the Republican Party. This is the practice in 48 states of America. However, there is a different system in the states of Nebraska and Maine. In these states, the party which gets as many electoral votes, gets that many seats. For example, in this election, Trump got 1 and Kamala Harris got 1 electoral vote from the state of Maine, i.e. 1 seat each. …………………………………………………….
