NPR reported that the competitive map for control of the U.S. Senate had expanded considerably in the final days before Election Day. Its analysis ranked the competitive Senate races from those considered most likely to flip to those considered least likely to do so.
TIME separately reported that control of Congress was likely to come down to a handful of battleground races. Together, the reports identify competitive contests as central to the question of possible congressional control, while addressing the Senate and Congress through separate analyses.
The supplied summaries do not identify the individual races or candidates under discussion. They provide electoral analysis rather than official results or confirmation of which party controls either chamber, leaving the eventual outcome unresolved in the available evidence.
