GOP adds another senate seat with Alaska win
President Donald Trump's Republican Party won another seat in the US Senate Wednesday, with a victory in Alaska that puts it one vote away from a majority in the upper house of Congress. Incumbent Dan Sullivan was easily reelected with more than 57 percent of the vote, according to CNN and NBC television projections. The Republicans now have 50 seats, compared to 48 for the Democrats in the 100-seat Senate. Two seats are still to be filled in runoffs scheduled for January 5 in the southern state of Georgia. The Democrats would have to win both seats to catch up with the Republicans and give Biden more room to implement his policies.
