Democrats hold on to Senate majority, while House still hangs in the balance

Lisa Desjardins:

Practically it means the next few months of lame duck will be a lot easier probably for everyone. Democrats feel they do not have to rush through the rest of their agenda before a possible change of power, because they'll stay in power.

Now, in addition, they believe that this helps them in Georgia. Let's look at where that race stands right now. You can see the difference. Raphael, Warnock winning by about 35,000 votes right now, but everyone knows it's going to a runoff job. And Democrats think not only does this help them with momentum in Georgia for that runoff in December, but it takes away the motivation for Republicans.

No longer can Mitch McConnell and Republicans say to voters in Georgia, you've got to get our guy in there because that will change the Senate. It won't. So Democrats also now feel even better about the race in Georgia.
