Based on CNN’s current projections, this is how the balance of power in Congress is shaping up.
In the Senate, Republicans have 49 seats so far. Democrats have 40. Either side needs 51 seats to have a majority.
Republican Bernie Moreno will defeat Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in Ohio’s Senate race, CNN projects, a key pickup for the GOP in a state that’s been trending its way to red. Republicans also flipped a seat in West Virginia as CNN projects Gov. Jim Justice will succeed retiring Democrat-turned-independent Sen. Joe Manchin.
In the House, Republicans have 178 seats. Democrats have 150.
Republicans have flipped three seats so far as they defend a narrow majority in the chamber. One seat to flip was North Carolina’s 6th Congressional District, where Republican Addison McDowell is projected to win.
