Democrats are favored to emerge from 14 hotly contested Senate races with full control of Congress, but final results from at least five of those contests may not be available for days, and in some cases, months. "There are dogfights all over the country," Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell said. He described the possibility of Republicans holding onto the Senate majority as a "50-50 proposition." To win the majority, Democrats need to pick up only three Republican seats if Biden is elected president and senator Kamala Harris wields the tie-breaking Senate vote as vice president. Delayed results could occur in Arizona and Maine, where Democrats are favored to flip Republican seats.
