Democrats will maintain control of the Senate after Catherine Cortez Masto was declared the winner in Nevada on Saturday over Republican Adam Laxalt, so the December 6 runoff in Georgia will only decide whether the Democratic ticket extends its lead, having secured its majority.
The canvassing of the state of Nevada has ended after several days in which the vote by mail recount has been carried out, which has ended up favoring Cortez Masto and granting him the victory, after gathering 48 percent of the votes, according to ‘Politico’.
On the other hand, the triumph of the party of the US president, Joe Biden, has not been total in the state of Nevada, since the Republican candidate Joe Lombardo won the governorship after defeating the Democrat Steve Sisolak.
Masto’s victory follows that of Mark Kelly, who won the seat after a long race in the state of Arizona, which left the Democratic Party just one seat away from maintaining control of the Upper House, an advantage that was confirmed this Saturday with the victory in Nevada.
In Arizona, however, the race between the two gubernatorial hopefuls, Republican Kari Lake and Democrat Katie Hobbs, is not yet over.
