The NYTimes is showing the Senate tied at 48 each.

Okay, that's 96 votes with four still to go.

One is the Warnock race in GA. (runoff this Dec.)

One is the Kelly race in AZ.

One is Cortez-Masto in NV.

And what is the last one?

ON EDIT--Politico is saying after Fetterman's win, DEMs have 48, and after Ron Johnson's win in Wis, REPs have 49.

So that clears up the confusion:

97 + Warnock (GA) + Catherine Cortez Masto (NV) + Mark Kelly (AZ) = 100

4. Republicans have 49

They may not have added RoJo's win in Wisconsin yet.

If we have 48 and they have 49, then there are the three races you mentioned yet to be decided.

[Mr.Mystery]

7. Ah okay.

10. Angus King, Independent?

[Mr.Mystery]

11. Yes, could be. Although Wiki says he caucuses with Dems like Sanders, nt.
