35 races awaiting calls in this tracker

Republicans need 19 more seats.

Democratic caucus needs 17 more seats.

Baseline: 31 Republicans, 32 Democrats and two independents who caucus with Democrats are not up for election. Republicans can control a 50–50 Senate with Vice President JD Vance’s tie-breaking vote; the Democratic caucus needs 51.

Race-call source: Associated Press, as reported by NPR. Baseline from NPR’s pre-election tracker; election-night calls pending verification. See AP/NPR national results. Control remains undecided here until verified calls meet the threshold. The Senate totals include seats held over; House totals do not.
