Democrats win Senate majority, flipping key Republican strongholds

Democrats have won a majority of seats in the U.S. Senate, according to ABC News projections, also taking control of the House in a wave of discontent over the economy and President Donald Trump. Key races flipped in Republican strongholds, with Democrats winning in Kansas, South Carolina, and Iowa. In Georgia, Jon Ossoff won reelection with support from independents and voters under 30, while in Ohio, Sherrod Brown retook his seat by winning over economically disenchanted voters and women. Democrats made notable gains among white voters, college graduates, and suburban voters compared to recent cycles. In South Carolina, Annie Andrews defeated Darline Graham, and in Kansas, Adam Hamilton became the first Democrat elected to the Senate from the state since 1932.
