Republicans flipped the Senate, but Democratic candidates often outran the top of the ticket, winning at least four battleground states that Vice President Kamala Harris lost.
Harris lost all seven swing states to President-elect Donald Trump, while her party’s Senate candidates narrowly held Wisconsin, Nevada and open seats in Michigan and Arizona. CNN has not yet projected the Senate winner in Pennsylvania. Democratic Senate candidates’ success is a bright spot in an otherwise bleak year for the party, which was defending eight competitive Senate seats, including two in states that Trump has won handily in all three of his campaigns.
Mike Berg, a spokesperson for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said that Republicans were “badly outspent” and that “incumbent senators are incredibly difficult to defeat.” “Senate Republicans have not lost a single incumbent in four years,” Berg said. “We are thrilled that we were able to defeat three entrenched incumbent Democrats last week. We also forced Joe Manchin into retirement.
