BREAKING: Republicans Officially Flip The U.S. Senate

Republicans have officially flipped the balance of power in the U.S. Senate after Republican challenger Bernie Moreno unseated three-term Democrat incumbent Sherrod Brown in Ohio.

With nearly all precincts reporting, Moreno is on pace for a resounding victory in the one-time battleground state. With the pick-up in West Virginia earlier in the night — where Republican Governor Jim Justice easily secured the retiring Joe Manchin’s open seat — the GOP has now officially flipped the balance of the Senate.

At the start of the day, Democrats held 51 seats, which has now flipped in favor of the Republican Party.

As of midnight Eastern Time, Republicans appear to be headed towards a massive night in terms of Senate results. The GOP is currently in a prime position to pick up the seat held by Senator Jon Tester in deep-red Montana. Like Brown and Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey, Tester has had the benefit of running in overwhelmingly positive years for Democrats. All three Senators were first elected in 2006, a midterm election where Democrats capitalized on an unpopular George W. Bush presidency and recorded massive gains. They also had the benefit of running with President Barack Obama on the ballot in 2012, and then another blue wave midterm year in 2018.

In Pennsylvania, Republican challenger Dave McCormick is maintaining a slight lead over Casey with a little more than 50 percent of precincts reporting. The GOP is also receiving encouraging results in Wisconsin, where incumbent Democrat Senator Tammy Baldwin is slightly trailing her Republican opponent, Eric Hovde, with a little more than 80 percent of votes counted.

U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) has opened a slight lead over U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), currently running two points ahead with a little more than 60 percent of votes counted.
