Democrats retain control of US Senate

The Democratic Party will retain majority control of the US Senate after winning a pivotal race in Nevada, reports BBC.

Senator Catherine Cortez Masto is projected to defeat Republican challenger Adam Laxalt, who was endorsed by Donald Trump.

The result means Democrats will now have 50 Senate seats - with Republicans currently on 49.

President Joe Biden has now weighed in from Cambodia, where he's travelled for a summit. He said he was incredibly pleased with the US election turnout, and that the Republican Party would now need to decide "who they are".

Georgia is still waiting on a Senate result, and will hold a run-off election on 6 December, after neither candidate won an outright majority.

Republicans appear to be inching closer to a majority in the House of Representatives.
