WASHINGTON — Republicans are projected to have won the majority in the US Senate, after flipping Senate seats in West Virginia and Ohio.

Jim Justice, West Virginia's current governor, is projected to win the seat vacated by the former Democrat Joe Manchin, while Bernie Moreno in Ohio unseated Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown.

The projected results move the Senate to a 51-49 split in favor of the Republicans. Results in other seats are pending, however.

Republicans so far are leading in the House of Representatives though several races are still undecided. Winning the Senate will give the party greater leverage to enact its agenda. — BBC
