Republicans dominate polls in US, Nikki Haley becomes Guv
Media reports across the United States anticipated that the Republicans would claim at least 50 House seats, which is 39 more than they need for a majority that would elevate conservative John Boehner to House speaker.
REPUBLICANS IN the United States managed to retain their hold in the House of Representatives but fell short of claiming maximum votes in the Senate on Tuesday. After two years since President Obama swept his way into the White House, the economic discontent that followed after he took to the office paved the way for the Republicans, who toppled Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from power and paved the way for an era of divided government. However, analysts say that the newly elected crop of House and Senate Republicans will see their mission as not to compromise and cut deals with President Obama, but rather to destroy his remaining agenda and undo healthcare and financial services reform. Meanwhile, Republican Nikki Haley, daughter of Sikh immigrant parents from Amritsar, Punjab, will now chair the governorship of South Carolina. She defeated her Democratic opponent Vincent Sheheen in a close race. The results which came out on Tuesday had shown Haley clinching 51 percent votes to Sheheen's 47 percent.
