GOP likely to take control of the Senate

Alaska Sullivan is now back in the lead by 3 percent which now gives the GOP the control of the Senate with Arkansas, Colorado, and Louisiana.

The New Projection shows:

GOP: 51
Dem: 46
Ind: 3

Independent Angus King would caucus with the GOP but vote with the Democrats to block bills by filibuster and vote to approve Executive nominees. McConnell will likely change the votes for Executive Nominees back to 60, but he would change the votes for legislation to a simple majority

Democrats could save the Senate depending on the Mississippi Supreme Court decision on the runoff That Chris McDaniel challenged which was previously rejected by a judge and now appealed. Attorneys of Incumbent Thad Cochran tells the court to reject and uphold If the Mississippi Supreme Court rules in favor of McDaniel, another election would begin according to the Mississippi state election laws and Travis Childers would win. But if the court upholds the previous decision.
