How close are the House and Senate races? US midterm election results

NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

A week after midterms Election Day, control of the House of Representatives and the Senate have still not been officially settled.

However, the Democratic and Republican parties are almost certainly claiming one chamber each.

The upper chamber of Congress, the Senate, is projected to remain under the Democratic Party’s control. On Saturday night, Senator Catherine Cortez Masto won Nevada, giving Democrats the 50 seats needed to retain their slim majority. Republicans have claimed 49 seats and Georgia will hold a runoff election next month, but Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris is the tie-breaking vote.

‘This election is a victory – a victory and a vindication for Democrats, our agenda, and for America and for the American people,’ said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Saturday.
