The Republican Party has retaken control of the U.S. Senate, the Associated Press reports, securing the majority in the chamber after winning key races in Ohio and West Virginia. Additionally, the GOP successfully fended off challenges to their incumbents in Texas and Nebraska, ensuring a return to power for the first time in four years.
This shift in control significantly alters the power dynamics in Washington, especially as both parties continue to campaign for the presidency. With a Republican-majority Senate, the GOP would hold the authority to confirm Supreme Court justices, federal judges, and presidential cabinet appointees should Donald Trump secure a second term. In the event of a Kamala Harris victory, the Republican-controlled Senate could block or delay her nominations, creating potential gridlock in key areas of governance.
