Senator Catherine Cortez Masto is projected towards clinching victory over Republican challenger Adam Laxalt, who was supported by former President Donald Trump.
It was time for the Republicans to decide “who they are”, US President Joe Biden, a democrat, said, as he expressed how extremely pleased he was.
According to Democratic Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, said the results showed the people of America had refused to accept what he termed the “violent rhetoric” of the Republican Party.
Now, the Democrats will have 50 Senate seats, with the Republicans on 49 currently.
Georgia is going to an election run-off in December for the remaining seat.
According to BBC:
In the event of the Senate being divided equally between the two parties, Vice-President Kamala Harris has the casting vote.
Republicans could still take control of the US House of Representatives as votes continue to be tallied from a handful of districts after Tuesday’s elections.
If the Republicans win the House they could still thwart much of Mr Biden’s agenda.
