Nevada’s Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, a Democrat, has been re-elected to the U.S. Senate, NBC News projects. That means Democrats have won 50 seats, effectively keeping their edge in the Senate after a close midterm elections cycle and successfully fighting off Republican efforts to take control of the chamber. (Even if Republicans win both Alaska and the Georgia run-off on December 6, Democrats will have the tie breaker via Vice President Kamala Harris.)
It’s a surprise but key victory for the party — if pundits and polling in the weeks leading up to Election Day were any indication. Republicans appeared potentially poised to win narrowly in key battleground states, including Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona. But Democratic voters came out in force — likely driven in large part by the threat of former President Donald Trump’s anti-democratic MAGA movement, as well as the demise of Roe v. Wade in June.
The Senate’s 100 seats are essentially split evenly between Republicans and Democrats (technically, Democrats have 48 seats, and independents who caucus with Democrats have two). Vice President Kamala Harris, as president of the Senate, casts tiebreaking votes as needed, giving Democrats the edge to pass legislation on party lines.
