Summary

79% Informative

The unexpected battleground of Nebraska pushed Republicans over the top.

Democrats watched their efforts to salvage their slim majority slip out of reach as tallies rolled in across a map that favored Republicans .

With a 50 -50 Senate , the party in the White House determines the majority, since the vice president is a tie-breaker.

If Democrats take the House and Republicans take the Senate , it would be the first time that the chambers of Congress have both flipped to opposing political parties.

Fallout from redistricting is also shifting the balance of power within the House , with Republicans set to gain several seats from Democrats in North Carolina and Democrats picking up a second Black-majority seat in Republican -heavy Alabama .
