Republicans shocked Democrats by keeping control of the Senate, setting the stage for President-elect Donald Trump to enact a broad conservative agenda and ensure a Republican Supreme Court for a generation. That’s provided he can work with a GOP establishment he spent most of the campaign attacking.
Election night amounted to an almost complete disaster for Senate Democrats in a year when the map greatly favored them -- 10 of 11 battlegrounds were on Republican turf -- and only weeks ago they were hoping that an anti-Trump wave would carry them to the majority.
Republicans clinched at least 51 Senate seats, with races in New Hampshire and Louisiana still to be decided. They also kept control of the House.
