In a significant victory for Democrats, Senator Jon Ossoff secured reelection in Georgia on Tuesday, according to media projections.

While Republicans entered the elections with a 53-47 Senate majority, Democrats needed a net gain of four seats to take control. To achieve this, Democrats would have to hold onto seats in Georgia and Michigan, flip Republican-held seats in Maine and North Carolina, and secure at least two more seats from states Trump won by double digits in 2024, such as Ohio, Alaska, Iowa, Texas, and others.
