Democrats are predicted to outperform Republicans in US Senate elections.

Democrats are ahead of Republicans in the elections to the Senate, but so far do not have a majority there, according to the forecasts of several American television channels.

⠀

By determining the winners on the basis of their own calculations, the American media thus express their confidence that further vote counting will not affect the alignment of forces.

⠀

Democrats have 47 seats in the Senate, compared to 46 for Republicans, according to CNN and NBC. Fox gives Democrats 48 seats, Republicans 47.

⠀

To gain control of the upper house of Congress, the Republican opposition needs 51 seats, the ruling Democratic Party – 50, given that Vice President Kamala Harris votes on her side in stalemate situations.
