WASHINGTON - Democrats are favored to emerge from 14 hotly contested U.S. Senate races with full control of Congress in Tuesday’s election, but final results from at least five of those contests may not be available for days, and in some cases, months.
With public disapproval of President Donald Trump weighing on Republicans across the country, voters will decide whether to end the political careers of embattled Republican senators, including Trump ally Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and moderate Susan Collins of Maine, among others.
In total, 12 Republican-held seats and two Democratic-held seats are in play, based on a Reuters analysis of three nonpartisan U.S. elections forecasters - the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, the Cook Political Report and Inside Elections.
“There are dogfights all over the country,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the top Republican in Congress, said at a campaign stop. He described the possibility of Republicans holding onto the Senate majority as a “50-50 proposition.”
Those odds appear optimistic, based on the three forecasters.
They forecast that Democrats could emerge with as many as 55 of the Senate’s 100 seats, giving them a majority for the first time in a decade in both the Senate and the 435-seat House of Representatives, where they are expected to maintain control.
Democrats are hoping to usher in a new political era in Washington if their presidential nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, also wins.
Though likely to fall short of a 60-vote filibuster-proof majority, Democratic Senate control would greatly aid a Biden legislative agenda or help stymie a second Trump term.

That would really make me sick.
This is satire, correct?
Pure psyops.
Georgia is having elections for both Senate seats, which is unusual. And both of those seats could go to a runoff election on January 5th if no candidate gets 50% plus 1 today.
And naturally, if any others go to recounts in other states, who knows when we will know for sure which party controls the Senate?

Indeed. It would be impeachment theater all over again.
Fake news, GO VOTE!
This is just an effort to discourage GOP voter turnout.
Like I said days ago, if Trump wins the Presidency but the Dems control the House and Senate..they will impeach him day 1 for breathing
The Republicans could very well gain MI,AL, and MN. They will probably lose ME and CO. Sorry, Chuck. Gaining a seat while getting rid of Susan Collins is a great result!
If the Democrats take the Senate, get ready for impeachment 2.0, with a conviction.
The opportunity for psyops has come and gone, I feel. This is just pure prognostication. Polls are over. It's time for just straight results.
Maine, obviously, since Collins is a wishy-washy Washington insider with no values at all. But I have heard of no other “very likely” losses to the RINO’s.
Jones (AL) a likely pickup. GA two seats likely to remain GOP. I don’t see this scenario that the demo’s massed media is pushing.
Now there is a good scouse...
It’s Reuters. Pure BS. ‘Nuff said.
Except of course, under this hypo they could remove Trump for any BS they wanted.
Bull
Like hell it’s going to take “months” to settle this election.
It might take a month or so to round up all the traitors and commence with the sedition trials though.
Trying to depress GOP turnout. Notice the weasel word “May”. Nothing like putting an article out while the voting is still ongoing! This is election interference pure and simple. Remember the purveyors of this BS.
