GOP fights to hang on to Senate majority

Control of the Senate is on the line Tuesday following a midterm election cycle with races marked by betrayal , alleged ballot shenanigans and President Donald Trump’s incessant swooning over the backside of one Republican candidate.

Close races are expected in several traditional battlegrounds — including Georgia, Michigan and North Carolina — but also in states that have become more reliably red since Trump’s rise in politics, such as Ohio and Iowa.

There are also closer-than-expected races brewing in even redder states such as Alaska, Kansas, South Carolina and Texas.
