At the time of writing on November 4, the Associated Press had called the Senate for Democrats. AP results displayed on Google at 05:56 UTC showed 52 Senate seats won by Democrats and 41 by Republicans, a net gain of six for Democrats, with the panel noting that two independents caucus with them.
The House had not been called. AP’s tally at 06:03 UTC stood at 206 seats for Democrats and 124 for Republicans, leaving Democrats 12 short of the 218 needed for a majority, although several news organizations projected a Democratic majority, Bloomberg reported. These are media calls, not official results. The final tallies arrive only once states finish counting and certify the vote.
