Election Outcomes -
On November 4th, Americans went to the polls to vote in the 2014 midterm elections. In a widely anticipated outcome, the Senate flipped from Democratic to Republican control. At the time of this writing, Republicans held 52 seats, with Republican candidate Dan Sullivan leading Democratic incumbent Mark Begich by roughly 8,000 votes in Alaska. Democrats claimed 44 seats, with a runoff between Democratic incumbent Mary Landrieu and Republican challenger Bill Cassidy scheduled in Louisiana for December 6th. Independent Senators Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Angus King (I-ME) are expected to caucus with the Democrats.
Meanwhile, in the House of Representatives, Republicans clinched their largest majority since World War II. While seven races had yet to be called at the time of this writing, Republicans hold 244 seats and were leading in three outstanding races, while Democrats hold just 184 seats and led ongoing vote counts in four other districts.
