Republicans have recaptured the US Senate, achieving what was billed in advance as the most attainable goal for the party in this year’s elections.
The GOP regained control after it became clear that the Democrats had lost their one-seat majority in Congress’s 100-member upper chamber.
Republicans gained two Senate seats, as Trump-backed businessperson Bernie Moreno defeated three-term Democratic senator Sherrod Brown in Ohio, and Trump loyalist Jim Justice won the seat once held by Joe Manchin in West Virginia.
