Republicans Poised to Keep Control of House After Winning Senate – WSJ

By Thomas A. Smith

WASHINGTON Republicans seized control of the Senate and looked in position to narrowly keep power in the House, setting President-elect Donald Trump up to more easily confirm nominees and muscle through key priorities on taxes and other issues.

In the Senate, the GOP flipped Democratic seats in West Virginia, Montana and Ohio. Democrats successfully defended Wisconsin and Michigan, while races were too close to call in three battleground states that President Biden won in 2020 by less than 3 percentage points: Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania. The results gave Republicans 52 seats as of Wednesday afternoon, reversing Democrats current 51-49 advantage.

I’m still in the shock and thankful prayer mode. Presumably I’ll have more to say as this wears off.
