Republicans take control of Senate from Democrats
The Associated Press has confirmed that Republicans have taken control of the Senate from Democrats after Tuesday’s congressional elections.
The win came following GOP Senator Deb Fischer’s reelection in Nebraska.
Republicans have secured 51 Senate seats, positioning them to regain control of the chamber for the first time in four years.
Democrats have 42 seats.
However, more states’ results have yet to be announced.
The Associated Press reports that so far 176 Democrats have seats in the House, while Republicans have secured 194.
At the state and local levels, voters also decided on a range of initiatives and races, from school boards to state-level ballot measures that can hold the weight of law.
A total of 11 governors’ races were also contested.
According to the agency’s initial results, with Tuesday’s results, Republicans are set to hold 27 governor’s seats and the Democrats 23.
