Democrats flip Senate, House, and governor seats in key states

Democrats are projected to control the Senate and House next year after flipping key seats in a historic blue wave, securing 54 Senate seats and 237 House seats as of Wednesday afternoon. In the Senate, Democrats flipped seven seats, including in Texas, Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, South Carolina, and Maine, while retaining Minnesota and Michigan. In the House, they flipped nearly 30 seats, including all competitive races in Iowa and three in Michigan. Democrats also flipped five competitive gubernatorial races, marking their first majority of governorships in 16 years. Alaska’s Senate and gubernatorial races remain uncalled, and Republicans flipped one House seat in Texas.
