Note: Jon Ossoff (D) and Raphael Warnock (D) are the projected winners of the Georgia Senate races following the runoff elections on Jan. 5.

Republicans were clinging to a narrow Senate majority after holding seats in Maine, Iowa, South Carolina and Kansas while claiming a Democratic-held seat in Alabama. Democrats defeated a Republican incumbent in Colorado, held the seat in Michigan and were projected to pick up a GOP-held seat in Arizona.
