The House and Senate Could Still Tip Either Way

Nathaniel Rakich: “In the Senate, Democrats and Republicans have each won 48 seats, and four states are still unprojected: Alaska, Arizona, Georgia and Nevada. However, it’s almost certain that a Republican (either Murkowski or Tshibaka) will win in Alaska, so really it’s more like 49-48. That means Democrats need to win two of Arizona, Georgia and Nevada in order to hold the chamber.”

“In the House, 209 seats have been projected for Republicans, and 193 have been projected for Democrats. A majority is 218, so Republicans are closer to that, but it’s not impossible that Democrats could run the table. Given how many unprojected House seats there are in California alone, and how slowly California counts its votes, we could be waiting days for an official projection.”
