Jim Justice is projected to win the seat formerly held by Democrat Joe Manchin, while Bernie Moreno has unseated incumbent Sherrod Brown in Ohio, marking a major shift in power dynamics.

Republicans Regain Control of the US Senate Following Key Election Victories
Republicans have flipped critical Senate seats in West Virginia and Ohio, securing a narrow majority in the US Senate.
Republicans last enjoyed a Senate majority in 2018, and the results from this election have sparked discussions over the new leadership structure. Republican leaders are eyeing positions like Senate Majority Leader, especially with Mitch McConnell stepping down. Moreno’s success was also notable, considering he ran an expensive campaign that attacked Brown's alignment with progressive stances. Meanwhile, several other high-profile Senate races saw Democrats maintaining seats, including Lisa Blunt Rochester in Delaware and Angela Alsobrooks in Maryland, both marking historic wins.
The evolving landscape in the House of Representatives remains uncertain, with critical races still unresolved that could ultimately determine party control. As electoral battles continue in swing states—California, New York, and others—the full impact of the election will take shape in the coming days, heralding a significant era for Republican politics in Washington.
As Democrats celebrate certain wins, the overall potential of the Republican-controlled government to advance Trump-era legislation looms large. With several key races across the Senate and House still hanging in the balance, the outcomes of these elections will be closely scrutinized in the days to follow.
