Major Races Across the Nation
Republicans will retain control of the United States Senate and may even pick up a few seats as the night goes on after Ted Cruz managed to fend off a surprisingly strong Democratic challenger and Kevin Cramer (R) was able to defeat Democratic incumbent Heidi Heitkamp (D) in North Dakota.
Republicans were also able to take control of Democrat Joe Donnelly's Senate Seat in Indiana, helping them defend the Senate from a Democratic takeover.
However, it's not all good news for Republicans. Democrats will pick up more than enough congressional seats across the nation to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Democrats were able to pick up several seats in conservative districts where Trump won in 2016.
The only question now is how many seats Democrats will control by the end of the night.
