Republicans projected to retake control of US Senate
Republicans gain three seats, guaranteeing them at least 52 out of 100 in the new upper chamber.
Summary
Republicans are projected to regain control of the U.S. Senate with a 51-49 majority after flipping seats in West Virginia and Ohio.
In West Virginia, Governor Jim Justice, a former Democrat, won the seat vacated by Joe Manchin, while in Ohio, newcomer Bernie Moreno unseated Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown in the most expensive Senate race in U.S. history.
Florida’s Rick Scott, who retained his seat, is expected to become Senate Majority Leader.
Democrats held seats in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and California, with historic wins for Black female senators in Maryland and Delaware and the first Korean-American senator in New Jersey.
Control of the House remains undecided as several swing district races continue.
Fascism has come to America, and as predicted, it is wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.
Rick Scott as speaker? That tracks. If the President is going to be a convicted felon and outright fascist, then the Speaker really should be a criminal too. Scott, the person who oversaw the largest Medicare fraud in history, fits the bill perfectly.
Oh goodness, hopefully the Democrats can hold on to the presidency! Crazy how election results take days to be revealed now, right guys?
