President Joe Biden's Democrats are just one seat away from securing a remarkable midterm election result by retaining control of the US Senate
Republican Adam Laxalt was leading by just 800 votes against Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto on November 12 morning.

It could take at least a few more days before the outcome of enough House races are known to determine party control of that 435-seat chamber.
