That makes 49 and with one more very likely win in Alaska, the Senate will end up with 50 Republican seats before the upcoming two Senate runoffs in Georgia. The GOP will probably win both Georgia contests.
There was no blue wave.
From the Charlotte Observer:
“The voters have spoken and I respect their decision,” [Democrat Cal] Cunningham said in a statement Tuesday, his first remarks since Election Day.
“While the results of this election suggest there remain deep political divisions in our state and nation, the more complete story of our country lies in what unites us: our faith and sense of confidence in our democracy, our civic values and common humanity, our shared aspiration to care for one another, and our belief that we live in a country that does exceptional things.
“... Though this isn’t the electoral outcome we worked for, I’ll always be grateful to be a North Carolinian, and I’ll always believe that our country’s best days are ahead.”
Tillis, 60, had declared victory on Nov. 3. He was congratulated by Republican Senate colleagues on Monday when the chamber returned to work. In a statement on Tuesday, Tillis said “I wish nothing but the best to Cal and his family going forward.”
