The battle for control of the US Senate is heating up with 34 seats in play. Democrats hold a slim majority, but key races in Republican-leaning states could shift the balance.
ADVERTISEMENTThe battle for control of the US Senate is heating up as voters prepare to head to the polls on Tuesday, November 5th.
Currently, Democrats hold a slim majority with 51 seats, including four independents who caucus with them, while Republicans hold 49 seats. With 34 seats up for grabs this election cycle, both parties have a chance to shift the balance of power.
This year’s election is set to shape the legislative landscape for years to come, with both parties fighting for every possible seat.
For the latest updates on the US Senate election, Euronews will provide live results as they come in, along with a live map to track the progress of the election.
The stakes are especially high for Democrats, who face tough battles in eight states that lean Republican.
Losses by key incumbents could potentially reduce Democratic representation in reliably conservative states and leave them with little margin for error.
The election will also test the down-ballot strength of both parties in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania — key presidential battleground states often called “the Blue Wall” due to their relatively consistent Democratic voting patterns. Republican victories in these states would significantly reshape the Senate landscape.
