US midterms see Democrats retain control of Senate after key Nevada victory

THE Democrats will retain control of the Senate after bagging a key victory in the state of Nevada in the 2022 midterm election.

In a major boost for President Joe Biden, his party have clinched several crucial seats to earn a majority.

Senator Catherine Cortez Masto has beaten Republican rival Adam Laxalt, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump.

On Friday, Senator Mark Kelly won re-election in Arizona to increase the number of seats in the Senate to 50, while the Republicans have 49.

The results amount to the best midterm performance for a sitting party in 20 years.
