FORMER United States President Donald Trump party, the Republican is coasting to victory at the Senate having won majority in the US Senate, after flipping Senate seats in West Virginia and Ohio.
Jim Justice, West Virginia’s current governor, is projected to win the seat vacated by the former Democrat Joe Manchin, while Bernie Moreno in Ohio unseated Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown.
The projected results move the Senate to a 51-49 split in favour of the Republicans. Results in other seats are pending, however.
Republicans so far are leading in the House of Representatives though several races are still undecided. Winning the Senate will give the party greater leverage to enact its agenda.
If the Republican Party controls the House, Senate and the White House, it would have broad power to pass laws and enact the president’s partisan agenda.
In Ohio, Brown was projected to lose to Moreno, a Colombian immigrant and former car sales magnate who portrayed the veteran politician as “too liberal for Ohio”.
The contest was called the most expensive Senate race in US history.
Brown told supporters that the result was a “disappointment but not a failure”, adding: “I’m not giving up on our fight for workers and I know you won’t either”.
The seat in West Virginia is projected to flip Republican. It was contested after the retirement of Manchin, who frequently clashed with members of his own party before turning independent.
Justice, had himself been a Democrat before switching parties to Republican at a Trump rally in 2017.
Democrats held a seat in Delaware, a state that President Joe Biden represented as a senator for 36 years, with a victory for fourth-term Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester.
In Maryland, the Democrats retained a seat vacated by Ben Cardin, with Angela Alsobrooks beating the popular Republican Governor Larry Hogan.
They will become the first black female senators to represent their respective states.
In New Jersey, Democrats retained a seat that was vacated by Bob Menendez, who resigned after he was found guilty of accepting bribes for political favours. Andy Kim, 42, will become the first ever Korean-American senator.
In California, Rep Adam Schiff, who led the first of two impeachment investigations against Trump, retained a seat held by late Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein.
Other contests that could have swung control of the upper chamber were taking place in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Montana, Michigan, Nevada, Nebraska and Wisconsin.
Both parties are also vying for control of the House, although the balance of power there will not be known for several days.
The vast majority of House elections are happening in “safe districts” – regions where one party is nearly certain to win. But a handful of other races in swing districts could determine who controls Washington DC.
House races that could swing the balance are taking place a wide variety of states, with closely watched elections happening in California, New York, Washington, Maine and Alaska.
