Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff has won reelection in Georgia, securing the Senate seat for his party, according to projections. The victory comes as Republicans gathered at an election night party hosted by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, where attendees awaited results with nervous anticipation.
Ossoff's win maintains Democratic control of the Georgia seat in what is being closely watched as part of the 2026 US midterm elections. Meanwhile, at Paxton's event in Texas, Republican supporters monitored incoming results from key races across the country.
The midterm elections are seen as a critical test of political momentum ahead of the next presidential cycle, with both parties vying for control of Congress and key state offices.
