New Congress Faces Possibility Of Choosing the Next President
Washington United Press International reports that Americans voting for Congress may face a scenario where the House and Senate must select a president and vice president if no candidate wins a majority of electoral votes. Republicans expected to gain some House and Senate seats but not control, while Democrats likely retain leadership. Senate seats contested promise a closer balance, with potential for GOP gains, and if the House fails to elect a president by January 20, the Senate choice would become acting president.
