Democrats flip seven Senate seats including Texas and Kansas

Democrats flipped at least seven Republican-held Senate seats on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press, taking control of the chamber.

The gains came in Kansas, Iowa, Texas, Maine, Ohio, North Carolina and South Carolina. Results trackers listed the winners as Adam Hamilton in Kansas, Josh Turek in Iowa, James Talarico in Texas, Troy Jackson in Maine, Sherrod Brown in Ohio, Roy Cooper in North Carolina and Annie Andrews in South Carolina.

The BBC reported that Hamilton's win gives Kansas its first Democratic senator in nearly a century. CBS News said Democrats also held seats in Georgia and New Hampshire.

CBS News projected Democrats at 54 seats to 44 for Republicans, against 47 to 53 before the election. A majority is 51. Two races remained uncalled on Wednesday morning.
