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

Democrats are projected to control both the Senate and House next year after flipping key seats in the midterm elections, with 54 Senate seats and 237 House seats secured 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 three competitive races in Iowa and three in Michigan. Democrats also flipped five competitive gubernatorial races, marking their first majority of governorships in 16 years. Several races remain uncalled, including Alaska’s Senate and gubernatorial contests, with Republicans flipping one House seat in Texas.
