Trump Wins Second Term; Senate Flips to GOP Control
Former President Donald Trump has secured enough electoral votes to win the presidential election, according to race calls from major media organizations overnight. As he returns to office with a projected popular vote victory, Trump will also have a GOP Senate majority, flipping the chamber from Democratic control. However, too many House races were too close to call this morning to determine which party will control the lower chamber.
GOP challengers were projected to defeat Senate Banking Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), who was defeated by Bernie Moreno, and Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), who was ousted by Tim Sheehy. Senate Banking Committee Ranking Member Tim Scott (R-S.C.) is in line to take over the committee's chairmanship. Overall, the GOP is expected to have a minimum of 52 seats in the Senate, up from 49 in the current Congress. Results in six Senate seats remained uncalled as of Wednesday morning.
