Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., attends a news conference after a lunch meeting with Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 1, 2022.
Republicans are expected to regain majority control of the U.S. Senate in 2025, according to NBC News.
Democrats entered Tuesday's elections with 47 seats out of 100 in the Senate.
But the four independents in the chamber caucus with Democrats, giving the party a one-seat majority.
Republicans arguably faced an easier path to regaining a Senate majority this election cycle, and are set to have at least 51 seats in the chamber in January, when members of Congress are sworn in.
