The Republican Party secured control of the US Senate on Tuesday, taking advantage of wins in key battleground states and a number of tight races that will determine their margin. At least two Democratic seats were picked up, while several Republican lawmakers were re-elected. The shift marks an end to four years of Democratic control, with Senator Sherrod Brown’s loss in Ohio being a significant turning point. Republicans now face the challenge of navigating policy priorities and leadership changes as Senator Mitch McConnell steps down after 18 years at the helm.
