American voters gave Republicans control of the Senate on election night, signaling widespread discontent with the policies of the Biden-Harris administration. With a new 51-seat majority, Republicans are positioned to drive legislative priorities and will replace Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as Senate majority leader in January.
This shift in power came through critical Republican victories, including Bernie Moreno’s win over Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) in Ohio and Tim Sheehy’s defeat of Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) in Montana. Republicans also captured an open seat in West Virginia, finalizing their majority and underscoring voter dissatisfaction with the direction under Democratic leadership.

Calling the election “a historic victory,” he emphasized his commitment to pushing for policy changes demanded by Americans.
