In huge blow to Republicans, Democrat Talarico flips U.S. Senate seat in Texas
What happened
Democrat James Talarico flipped a U.S. Senate seat in Texas, a major setback for Republicans on Tuesday's midterm election night, according to taz's live coverage.
Projections cited by taz give Democrats at least 54 of 100 Senate seats and at least 231 of 435 House seats.
Democrats also flipped Senate seats in North Carolina and South Carolina; in North Carolina, former governor Roy Cooper defeated a Trump-picked candidate.
Two Senate races remain open: Mississippi, where Democrat Scott Colom leads by 43 votes with 96 percent counted, and Alaska, where Republican Dan Sullivan leads Mary Peltola with 71 percent counted.
A Democratic majority in both chambers lets the party block new funding and set up investigative committees, and the House speakership would pass from Mike Johnson to Hakeem Jeffries, according to taz.
“We've seen in our polling at Ipsos in recent weeks and months that voters have become increasingly frustrated with President Trump”
