The Race is on Election night 2014

US mid-terms: Republicans make early Senate gains

Initial results in the US mid-term elections show the Republican Party is making early gains in the Senate, where they need to win just six seats to take control of the chamber.

The party has already picked up two Senate seats in Arkansas and West Virginia, says the AP news agency.

The Republican Party leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, has retained his seat for Kentucky.

But the Democrats have held onto the key Senate seat of New Hampshire.

As polls close across the country, early results indicate a number of both Democratic and Republican Senate incumbents have held onto their seats.

Projections show Republicans have retained seats in Mississippi, Alabama, Maine, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Tennessee.

Democrats have retained seats in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware and New Jersey.

Listening to CNN

GOP four seats away

Washington (CNN) -- Republicans have picked up another Senate seat and now need only four more to seize Senate control, according to a CNN projection.
Iraq war veteran Tom Cotton grabbed the Senate seat in Arkansas held by Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor. That built on an earlier pick up in West Virginia, where Republican Shelley Moore Capito won a seat that has been in Democratic hands for nearly 30 years.
President Barack Obama, who has dragged down vulnerable Democrats with his tarnished approval ratings, now faces the strong prospect of a unified Republican opposition on Capitol Hill for the rest of his administration.
The president will make a public statement on Wednesday and host bipartisan leaders on Friday.

Louisana looks to be interesting
Got to have 50% plus one to win
still early on

CNN Results

looks like McConnel has held Kentucky

I want the Republicans to take the majority in the Senate.

For no other reason to get rid of REID as 'Majority' leader.

But I have my doubts.

I'm from NY and it looks like though House seats are all going Republican this year, while for some reason... People are still voting in the same terrible governor.

I wonder if Wendy Davis's concession speech will be full of lies?

a reply to: neo96

this time he cant count on a power outage

it looks like the republicans have the match

In the modern era two term presidents going back to Roosevelt including Eisenhower, Nixon, Carter, Clinton, Bush and now likely Obama all lost both houses of congress in their second term midterm election.

So its a no brainer the GOP will take both houses
