The mid-term elections in the United States have propelled the country into another election campaign for the 2016 presidential Because the election results - namely, a Republican majority in Congress - forced the parties to quickly adapt their strategies to the new situation.
For Barack Obama, this result confirms its declining popularity, and even a repudiation of his policy as the economic recovery remains theoretical for many Americans. If he wants to avoid political paralysis, the Democratic president will have to deal with Republicans parliamentary or make use of its powers to impose its agenda in strength.
Republican side, the red tide has gone well beyond expectations. But the total control of Congress could be a poisoned chalice. He places indeed parliamentarians Republicans face difficult choices that could be used against them in the race for the White House. Especially if they fail to keep their promises like to submit the administration and federal debt on a diet.
Number of elected Republicans do not hide their presidential ambitions. But the trial could affect their power to rivals who do not sit in Congress, namely the ultra-conservative Tea Party. Among the several dozen potential Republican candidates.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton's name resounds louder under the Democratic banner. The former New York Senator and former Secretary of State honed his political profile and travels the country to regain Obama disappointed without declaring. His supporters say they dressed for the primary in 2016.
What is the dominant in the United States, with a clear head, after the defeat of the Democrats in Congress feeling? We asked the euronews correspondent in Washington Stefan Grobe.
Stefan Grobe: "The people here are absolutely amazed by the results of this election. They were expected, but the size of the Republican wave is quite surprising. Republicans have won where normally you do not expect. "
What impact this will have on the presidential race of 2016, including Hillary Clinton could be a candidate?
Stefan Grobe: "I think Hillary Clinton is the winner of the election last night. It will be the only person, the only political figure considered capable of winning the presidential election. There will be tremendous pressure on her to declare herself a candidate. No other Democrat is going to declare his candidacy. It will be the only candidate. (...) And looking at the Republican side, we have a large selection of potential candidates who will kill in the primaries. And who will win? We do not know and it gives Hillary Clinton a huge advantage, financially and politically. "
