Democrats are poised to take control of Congress after the recent midterm elections, but several key contests remain unresolved, with Senate races in Alaska and Mississippi still too close to call, PBS NewsHour’s congressional correspondent Lisa Desjardins reported.
The 2022 midterms delivered a wave of unexpected defeats for Republicans, narrowing their majorities in both chambers and setting the stage for a potential Democratic takeover of the House and Senate.
Because the outcomes in Alaska and Mississippi have not yet been finalized, the final balance of power in the Senate could still shift as additional ballots are counted.
Both parties are closely monitoring these pending races, recognizing that any change in the Senate composition could influence the legislative agenda and the ability to pass or block major policies.
Final results are expected in the coming days as absentee and provisional ballots are tallied, determining whether the Democrats will secure the full control they anticipate.
