💨 Abstract

Republicans secured control of the U.S. Senate by winning seats in West Virginia and Ohio, ensuring a 51-49 majority, with further gains possible. Republicans also posted early gains in the House, but the final outcome remains uncertain. Democrats made history by electing the first openly transgender member of Congress, Sarah McBride in Delaware. Republicans have a chance to widen their Senate majority and Democrats need to flip at least six seats to take control of the House.
