GOP Wins Senate Majority As Trump Celebrates Historic Election Night
Republicans won the U.S. Senate on election night, capturing a 51-seat majority that marks their return to power in the upper chamber for the first time since 2018. This shift means Chuck Schumer will no longer be Senate majority leader, with the transition occurring in January.
The GOP’s Senate victory was bolstered by critical wins in Ohio and Montana. Ohio Republican Bernie Moreno unseated Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat who had held his position for nearly two decades. In Montana, Tim Sheehy ousted incumbent Sen. Jon Tester, and the GOP picked up another seat in West Virginia, giving them the majority.
