Republicans & Democrats Fight for Control of Congress | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

As Republicans and Democrats fight for control of Congress, a handful of states held primary elections last night setting up showdowns that could determine the balance of power. Several progressives in the US House lost their primary elections, but the group did claim a victory last night as Congresswoman Ilhan Omar fended off her primary challenger to take home the victory. It comes one week after her fellow squad member Cori Bush of Missouri lost her bid and Congressman Jamaal Bowman of New York was defeated weeks earlier. In Omar's victory speech, the congresswoman said she ran a campaign filled with joy. Omar's victory caps off a series of primaries facing the squad that have been the target of millions of dollars from pro-Israel groups, including the American Israel Public Affairs Committee as Democrats continue to split over Israel's actions in Gaza. Meanwhile, next door in Wisconsin, the Badger State's Senate race is now set, Businessman Eric Hovde, as expected, won his primary and will take on Senator Tammy Baldwin in November.
