View of Congress After the 2000 Elections Shows Narrow Split
Our view notes that voters largely kept incumbents in place for the U.S. House and Senate. Republicans lost three Senate seats while Democrats expect a few gains, leaving a 51-49 or 50-50 balance that hinges on the presidential race and Lieberman. In the House, GOP gains and Democratic hopes blend into potential gridlock, seen as a stabilizing factor for the economy. Hillary Rodham Clinton enters the Senate, while Tom Carper defeats Roth, easing tax and spending opposition.
