Democrats will retain control of the U.S. Senate after incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., prevailed in a nail-biting race against Republican challenger Adam Laxalt.
The nation’s first Latina senator, Cortez Masto was widely regarded as the Senate’s most vulnerable incumbent Democrat, with national Republicans identifying her seat as the party’s best chance to flip.
But with her seat secured, Democrats are guaranteed control of Congress’ upper chamber no matter the outcome of a run-off race in Georgia between incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker, thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris’ tie-breaking vote.
