The election isn’t settled yet, but Democrats added Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (NM) and Mark Kelly (AZ) to their victorious Senate roster. Another race to watch is Georgia’s run-off between incumbent Democratic Senator Warnoff and Republican former football star Walker. The run-off is December 6th. Democrats will keep control of the Senate, and they are in the race for House Majority.
