Maya It's 3:11 Eastern, and the headline this hour is control of the Senate. CBS News, Fox News, NBC News, ABC News and CNN all project Democrats will hold the majority.

Maya CNN, CBS News, NBC News and ABC News have also projected Democratic control of the House. Across the board, 67 races have been projected so far tonight, with no new projections in just the last few minutes.
