now decided, Georgia is the only state where both parties are still competing for a Senate seat. Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock faces GOP challenger Herschel Walker in a Dec. 6 runoff. Alaska’s Senate race has advanced to ranked choice voting, though the seat will stay in Republican hands.
Democratic control of the Senate ensures a smoother process for Biden’s Cabinet appointments and judicial picks, including those for potential Supreme Court openings. The party will also keep control over committees and have the power to conduct investigations or oversight of the Biden administration, and will be able to reject legislation sent over by the House if the GOP wins that chamber.
He said winning a 51st seat from the Georgia runoff would be important and allow Democrats to boost their standing on Senate committees.If Democrats manage to pull off a win in the House, it would mean full control offor Democrats — and another chance to advance Biden priorities, which he has said include codifying abortion rights. The party still lacks the 60 votes in the Senate needed to move many kinds of major legislative changes.
Biden, who called to congratulate Cortez Masto, said he was still hopeful that Democrats could hold the House.The Senate fight had hinged on a handful of deeply contested seats. Both parties spent tens of millions of dollars in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada and Georgia, the top battlegrounds where Democrats had hoped that Republicans’ decision to nominate untested candidates — many backed by former President Donald Trump — would help them defy national headwinds.celebrity heart surgeon Dr.
A closely divided swing state, Nevada is one of the most racially diverse in the nation, a working-class state whose residents have been especially hard-hit by inflation and other economic turmoil. Roughly three-fourths of Nevada voters said the country is headed in the wrong direction, and about half called the economy the most important issue facing the country, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of 2,100 of the state’s voters.

LisaMascaro And now the train wreck will continue....high crime, inflation, more social programs that do not work, drugs and more! Weeeeeee just like ALL the cities they run. How are so many so fooled?
LisaMascaro It's a good thing the presidential race is determined by the electoral college. Voter suppression is not the way you would expect things to run here, but it is what happened. 30% of the machines in republican in person areas were broken. They will never get fixed. This is bad.
LisaMascaro So glad democrats kept the senate at least that’s one chamber the extreme terrorist mega cult hasn’t got control off and fingers crossed even tho chance is slim for the house there is outstanding races yet to be called but they are leaning democrat so may control that as well
LisaMascaro Autocracy incoming. I mean, who needs congressional authority for things like student deb relief? Certainly not Biden. Those warning of fascism and autocracy are usually the ones pushing it.
LisaMascaro Which is one half of the equation.

LisaMascaro durrrrr rEd WaVe durrrr
LisaMascaro You’re thrilled
LisaMascaro The Republicans taking the House is more important then them taking the Senate. Nothing of worth gets through to the Senate without passing through the House. It’s scary that the AP seem oblivious to this. Very troubling.
LisaMascaro Tired of staying home and doing nothing? This is an opportunity to make good cash and settle bills with no stress. You get $500 every week for every job done Reply yes if you are interested
LisaMascaro The real winners in the mid-terms were the American people. They won because they repudiated the big lie, and voted to save democracy from followers of an autocratic bully.
LisaMascaro LeaderMcConnell and LindseyGrahamSC should be ashamed.
LisaMascaro Voters must really be enjoying that Build Back Better spending program 🤔
LisaMascaro 'making it harder for them to thwart': really? I mean-- there's no supermajority.
LisaMascaro Agenda…to destroy the economy with his terrible policies. Finished it for you.
LisaMascaro Awesome!
LisaMascaro Pssst, we’re all being played, as they have divided the people while they all get filthy rich. If you listen you can hear them laughing at us. We all lose
LisaMascaro Actually, if the Republicans take the House, Biden’s agenda will become harder. Do the press even have a clue how government works? From this headline, it doesnt sound like it. Tragic.
LisaMascaro The agenda of a life-consuming. soul-crushing status quo.
LisaMascaro Democracy was never in question. However the idea that there is a “silent conservative majority” is now dead. All battles for conservative political ideas will be hard fought. Republican leadership should take a hard look and themselves and perhaps kindly step down.
LisaMascaro In a way, actually prefer, the Republicans win the house narrowly even as dems in minority may not be able to pass major legislation. Reason: voters get to see how radical & unhinged the GOP is, their priorities aren’t the voters, good contrast before 2024
LisaMascaro So happy to have even higher gas prices, freeze to death this winter, and a skinny Christmas.
LisaMascaro They never do ANYTHING anyways!
LisaMascaro Really sad for Americans. Horrible policies and corruption
LisaMascaro and what agenda is that lol
