Republicans have now won enough seats to control the upper chamber of Congress, with the race call for Nebraska's GOP Sen. Deb Fischer marking a notable shift.
As of midnight, Republicans had secured one of the two Democratic targets for defeat as Republican Bernie Moreno won in Ohio over incumbent Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown.
The other race Republicans feel confident they can flip is Sen. Jon Tester's seat in Montana, despite Democrats hoping for a split-ticket effect due to Tester’s strong brand.
Split ticket voting is challenging; historical analyses show 68 of the 69 Senate races in 2016 and 2020 mirrored presidential results in their states.
