On Tuesday, 6 November, North American voters went to the polls for the midterm elections.

In the case of the House of Representatives, the elections were general, while for the Senate, it was a matter of electing a third of its members, and in the case of the States, the electoral appointment was limited.

The only two parties, which make up this very special political system, the Republican and the Democrat, said after the elections they were satisfied and "winners".

Even current and always controversial President, Donald Trump described the results as "wonderful".

Reviewing in more detail the general results and their territorial distribution, the two forces in conflict surely have their reasons to feel satisfied but they should also be worried.

The Democrats have obtained a comfortable majority in the House of Representatives (similar to what would be the Parliament), recovering the hegemony lost eight years ago, which allows them a possible policy of containment to the presidential initiatives.

The Republicans, on the other hand, strengthen their majority in the Senate. Territorially, the results are diverse because while Republicans maintain, just about, important States such as Texas or Florida, the Democrats are entrenched in places like Pennsylvania, Michigan or Wiscoinsin, where Trump had won by a large majority his presidency.

The vote seems quite clear:  the Republican vote (pro-Trump) is entrenched among white, working and rural citizens, while the Democrats have managed to capitalize broadly the new movements linked to women's rights (Me-Too and Woman in march), as well as low and middle sectors of the large urban agglomerations, and to diverse minorities such as the Latin, the Muslim, the native peoples and those related to sexual diversity.
