Democrats had 47 seats in the Senate on Tuesday, but with the four independents caucusing with them, they gained a one-seat majority.

The Republicans are expected to have at least 51 seats in the Senate in January, making it easier for them to regain a majority.

In contrast to the Democrats' efforts to retain 23 seats, the GOP was only defending 11 seats where candidates were running for reelection.

In Ohio, NBC News projected that Republican nominee Bernie Moreno would defeat incumbent Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, thereby strengthening the GOP's efforts.

In West Virginia, Gov. Jim Justice won the race to replace Sen. Joe Manchin, who had been elected as a Democrat but quit the party in May.

In Nebraska, incumbent Republican Sen. Deb Fischer won re-election.

It was predicted that over $1 billion would be spent to secure three seats in Montana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania by Election Day.
