Where things stand as of tonight. Senate Rep 52, Dem 47. Pennsylvania hasn’t been called. McCormick leads Casey by 30,000 votes with 99% of the votes counted. But it’s close enough to go to a recount. It’ll be some time before Pennsylvania becomes official.
https://www.cnn.com/election/2024/r...flipped=false&filter-remaining=falseThe house will probably take longer, the republicans have a 216-207 lead with 10 races yet to be called or determined. Those uncalled races are split 5-5 as to who holds the seats now. The republicans have flipped 7 previously held democratic seats, the democrats have flipped 5 Republican held seats.
https://www.cnn.com/election/2024/r...flipped=false&filter-remaining=falseThe links I provided are usually updated twice daily in case anyone wants to closely follow or obtain the most recent results. Here’s something weird. In the 5 swing states that had both a presidential and senate race, the democrat won 4 of those 5 states with Pennsylvania being the 5th, too close to call.
Michigan Democrat Slotkin won the senate seat by 20,000 votes, Harris lost Michigan by 40,000 votes
Wisconsin Democrat Baldwin won the senate seat by 27,000 votes, Harris lost Wisconsin by 30,000 votes
Nevada Democrat Rosen won the senate seat by 22,000 votes, Harris lost Nevada by 47,000 votes
Arizona Democrat Gallego won the senate seat by 73,000 votes, Harris lost Arizona by 185,000 votes
Pennsylvania – See senate above. Harris lost Pennsylvania by 134,000 votes
A whole lot of ticket splitting took place in these 5 swing states. Voting republican for president, voting democratic down ballot. Which is highly unusual as normally the senate seat goes the same as the presidential. Having one or two is understandable. But four and possibly all 5 depending on Pennsylvania. I can’t remember the last time that happened if it ever did.
