Democrats project House majority after flipping Senate seats in North Carolina and South Carolina
US media projections on Tuesday indicate Democrats are close to winning control of the House and gaining a Senate majority following victories in North Carolina and South Carolina.
Senate gains in two states
Democratic former Governor Roy Cooper defeated Republican Michael Whatley in North Carolina. Pediatrician Annie Andrews also won her race against Darline Graham in South Carolina. These results give Democrats two of the four seats needed for a Senate majority.
Mixed results in Florida and elsewhere
Republican Senator Ashley Moody kept her seat in Florida despite a narrow margin. In Georgia, Democrat Jon Ossoff defeated Mike Collins to hold another Senate seat. Other races in states like Alaska and Texas remain undecided with millions of votes still counting.
Early results show shifting momentum
Analysts say these outcomes suggest a wave against President Trump is growing. Millions of uncounted ballots across the country mean final totals are not yet clear. Democrats held three House districts in Florida while projections favor them in others.
