Republicans need to win just one seat and keep the ones they already hold to secure a majority in the Senate.
Americans voted yesterday Tuesday in the midterm elections that determine, among other things, whether the Democrats — the faction of President Joe Biden — will retain control of the Senate.
35 of the 100 seats of this body of the American federal Congress are up for grabs.
The seats in the outgoing US upper house were perfectly divided between Democrats and Republicans (50-50), with Vice President Kamala Harris having the ability to break the Gordian tie with her vote in the event of a tie.
Republicans need to win just one seat and keep the ones they already hold to secure a majority in the Senate.
Here are the first statistical projections from the Edison Research institute and the Fox News television network for the results in some of the 35 fights:
* Republican incumbent Sen. Tim Scott defeats Democratic challenger Crystal Matthews in South Carolina (Edison).
* Republican incumbent Sen. Todd Young defeats Democratic incumbent Thomas McDermott in Indiana (Edison).
* Republican incumbent Sen. Rand Paul beats Democratic incumbent Charles Booker in Kentucky (Fox News, Edison).
* Democrat Peter Welch beats Republican Gerald Malloy in Vermont (Fox News). He will take the seat of Democrat Patrick Leahy, who is retiring at age 82.
