The US Republicans have taken control of the United States Senate after flipping several Democrat-held seats red in key states. According to AP, the Republicans already have a 51 majority lead in the Senate election.

The Red party has flipped two seats that were previously held by Democrats. The US Senate is comprised of 100 members. The new Republican majority will take power in January 2025 shortly before the presidential inauguration.

Former President Donald J Trump is currently leading with 247 electoral college votes. This is against Democratic nominee Kamala Harris who is currently at 214.

Trump is also leading in the popular vote with over 67 million votes against Harris’ 62 million according to Associated Press(AP).

He is also projected to win multiple swing states as results show he has already won North Carolina and Georgia and is leading in all other key battle ground states.

This is developing news and will be updated as results trickle in.
