Republicans maintain US Senate majority

‘The US Senate will remain a Republican-majority chamber, with 34 races mostly ending in the GOP’s favor Tuesday. Democrats, however, did gain a seat, leaving them with 47 to the Republicans’ 52.
History was made in Nevada, where former state attorney general Catherine Cortez Masto (D) became the first Hispanic woman to win a US Senate seat, with 48.4 percent, compared to Representative Joe Heck’s (R) 44 percent, based upon 31.35 percent of precincts reporting, according to Bloomberg.
One US Senate race where the Democrats most highly anticipated a seat pick up was in Wisconsin, but late into Tuesday evening, incumbent Senator Ron Johnson (R) was declared the winner over former Senator Russ Feingold (D), 51.9 percent to 45.2 percent, with 69 percent of precincts reporting, according to the Associated Press.’
