Republicans Projected To Flip Control Of Senate

Republicans are expected to flip control of the Senate as they are projected to hold at least 51 seats.

The move comes as Republicans flipped seats in West Virginia and Ohio and are leading in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Montana, and Michigan. Republicans also held key seats in Nebraska and Texas.

In Ohio, Republican businessman Bernie Moreno is projected to defeat Democrat incumbent Sherrod Brown 50.3% to 46.3% with 90% of the vote reported in.

Moreno, a Colombian-born businessman, supports stronger border security and said that “energy dominance” will be one of his top issues if he is elected.

In West Virginia, former West Virginia Governor Jim Justice is projected to defeat Democrat Glenn Eliot 68.8% to 25.1% with 52% of the vote reported in. The seat was previously occupied by Democrat-turned independent Joe Manchin.

“We did it, West Virginia! Thank you for your incredible support! I’m honored to be your next U.S. Senator. Together, we will fight for our values and build a brighter future for our state and nation,” Justice posted on X.

Senator Ted Cruz defended his Senate seat in Texas with a projected defeat of Democratic challenger Colin Allred 54%-43.8%.

“Ted Cruz won again despite liberals from California and New York doing everything they could to bankroll his radical opponent. Ted has been a tireless champion for Texans of all stripes, working to cut taxes, secure the border, and bring down costs for families. No matter what gets thrown at him, Ted knows Texas and knows what it takes to win,” National Republican Senate Committee chair Steve Daines said in a statement.

In Nebraska, Republican Deb Fischer is projected to hold on to her Senate seat against independent challenger Dan Osborne 51.5% to 48.5%. In Missouri, Sen. Josh Hawley is projected to defeat Democratic challenger Lucas Kunce 55.4%-41.8%.

Republicans are also leading key Senate races in the Democrats’ “Blue Wall” states. Republican challenger Eric Hovde is currently leading incumbent Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin. In Michigan, Mike Rogers is leading Democrat Rep. Elise Slotkin. In Pennsylvania, Dave McCormick is leading incumbent Democratic Senator Bob Casey.
