Do Repubs now have control of the Senate? This site now says 48 Dems, 49 Repubs

Yahoo! still shows 48 tied for both parties.
“Do Repubs now have control of the Senate? This site now says 48 Dems, 49 Repubs”
There are 100 senators, you need 50 + VP, or 51 to be in control. Senators are sworn in on Jan 3, so at a minimum, the dems (50 + vp) are in control until then. If Laxalt wins, and Walker wins the runoff, Jan 3rd is when GOP takes control.
I think the sites that say 49 R, 48 D, are counting Alaska as an R, whether it’s Tshibaka or Murky.
The remaining three are AZ, NV, and GA. We need 2/3 of those.
Laxalt in NV looks good.
Masters in AZ is down like 95k votes, but Charlie Kirk says he will likely win (?).
GA is probably up for sale to the highest bidder.
Don’t forget the two “Independents” who cauc-ass with the democrats.
Burnie Sanders and Anus King of Maine.
So that is de facto 50 dems.
