Reporters in the US quoted experts as saying that the above results show a high possibility that the Republican Party will take control of the Senate from the Democratic Party this fall. Currently, the Democratic Party holds a majority of 51 seats in the Senate. However, the decision of Senator Joe Manchin (West Virginia) not to run for re-election has put the Democratic Party at risk of losing more seats. Their only hope is to maintain a 50-50 balance.
