Democrats kept several Senate seats during the United States midterm elections. These wins occurred in states on the east coast where polling stations closed first. Based on projections from CNN and Associated Press, they won in Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Virginia. These results align with previous polls that predicted clear wins for the party. Media outlets also projected a win for Democratic senator Jon Ossoff in Georgia. This specific victory is necessary for the party to seek a majority in the Upper House.
