Donald Trump's Republican Party Regains Senate Majority With Key Wins In Ohio And West Virginia

Donald Trump's Republican Party successfully took back the control of the US Senate, flipping seats previously held by Democrats.

This shift marks the first Republican majority in four years, achieved by retaining their incumbents and capturing new seats.

Nebraska, an unexpected battleground, proved pivotal for Republicans.

Incumbent Senator Deb Fischer managed to fend off a strong challenge from independent candidate Dan Osborn.

As vote tallies poured in, Democrats saw their slim majority slipping further from reach amid a Republican-leaning result.

Republicans claimed an early victory in West Virginia, with Jim Justice winning the seat vacated by retiring Senator Joe Manchin.

Attempts by Democrats to unseat prominent Republicans Ted Cruz in Texas and Rick Scott in Florida were ultimately unsuccessful.

Despite Texas’ nearly 30-year record of voting Republican statewide, Dallas congressman and former NFL linebacker Colin Allred, a democrat, campaigned as a moderate, focusing on supporting reproductive rights amid the state’s stringent abortion ban.

Cruz’s win followed a setback for Democrats when Ohio’s Sherrod Brown lost his Senate re-election bid to Republican Bernie Moreno.

Brown’s defeat to Moreno, a Bogota-born immigrant and successful entrepreneur in luxury cars and blockchain, led to Democrats losing their Senate control.

Brown, a three-term senator, became the first incumbent to lose re-election in this cycle’s priciest contest, estimated at $400 million.
