Democrats appear on track to retain control of the Senate with key races falling in favour of Democrat candidates.

  • The open GOP-held Pennsylvania Senate race has been called by numerous news outlets in favour of Democrat candidate Lt Gov John Fetterman (D-PA).
  • Fetterman tweeted: "I will be the next U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania. We bet on the people of Pennsylvania - and you didn’t let us down And I won’t let you down. Thank you."
  • Difficult to see a pathway for Republicans to flip the Senate now. The GOP will need to win two of the remains three tossups (Georgia, Arizona, Nevada). Seen an unlikely with Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) both showing strongly in their races.
