Democrats have shifted the balance of power on Capitol Hill, capturing control of the U.S. House of Representatives for the first time in 12 years and gaining ground in the battle to win the Senate.
Two GOP Senate races — Virginia and Montana — were still up for grabs early Wednesday, with Republicans needing to win one to avoid a Democratic sweep of Congress.
Overall, Democrats shifted four Senate seats across the aisle as of 2 a.m. ET.
In Missouri, Democrat Claire McCaskill claimed an early morning victory in a close race against incumbent Republican Jim Talent in one of the nation's tightest Senate races.
In Virginia, incumbent George Allen was locked in a virtual dead heat with Democratic challenger Jim Webb, with indications the final outcome might not be known for days, and that outcome could be contested.
