It’s a bit past 9 p.m. and Republicans have gained three Senate seats – Shelley Moore-Capito in West Virginia, Mike Rounds in South Dakota and Tom Cotton in Arkansas.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has also been re-elected in Kentucky. Democrat challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes sealed her fate when she couldn’t bring herself to admit she voted for Obama.
Republicans need three more seats for McConnell to go from Senate Minority to Senate Majority leader.
