The projection in Nevada has put Democrats at 50 seats, which ensures them a majority at the start of the 118th Congress in January thanks to Vice President Harris’s tie-breaking vote. With that projection, two Senate seats remain up in the air: Georgia, where there’s a runoff on Dec. 6 that will give Democrats a chance at a 51st seat, and Alaska, where it remains to be seen which of two Alaska Republicans will claim victory in the state’s ranked-choice voting process: Sen. Lisa Murkowski or Kelly Tshibaka, Murkowski’s Trump-backed and principal challenger. Of course, 18 House seats — and the chamber as a whole — also don’t yet have a projection.
