As the results of the Congressional elections continue to come in, this is what the balance of power in the Senate looks like right now.
Republicans have dramatically reduced the Democrats’ chances of regaining the Senate, winning a series of races across the country along the same lines as President Trump.
Democrats have won 47 seats with one regained in Colorado, while Republicans have won 47 seats with one regained in Alabama.
There are currently four undecided races. Either party needs 51 seats to control the upper house, or 50 if its presidential candidate wins, as the vice president can cast a decisive vote.
Arizona: Former Astronaut Mark Kelly, Democrat, has a comfortable lead over Sen. Martha McSally, the Republican who currently holds the seat, with a 103,000 vote lead with 89% of the vote counted.
Georgia: Current Republican Senator David Perdue has a 101,000 vote lead over Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff with 10,000 remaining ballots to count. Perdue has a 2.1% lead, but it is still 0.1% less than the majority required by Georgia to avoid a second round of elections on January 5.
Georgia special election: Democratic challenger Reverend Raphael Warnock leads Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler by 329,000 votes, but is a long way from the 50% majority required to win the seat and avoid a runoff. That seat heads to a special election on January 5.
Alaska: With 47% of the vote, current Republican Senator Dan Sullivan leads Democrat Al Gross with 108,488 votes to 54,755.
