Control of Congress: Why the AP hasn’t called Senate, House

WASHINGTON (AP) — Neither party has reached the necessary threshold to win control in the House or Senate as of early Friday. Republicans are inching closer to seizing the House but aren’t there yet. Control of the Senate hangs on two races in Nevada and Georgia. Democrats would need to take Nevada to prevent Georgia’s Dec. 6 runoff from determining who holds the Senate. The Associated Press doesn’t make projections and declares winners when it’s determined there is no scenario that would allow a trailing candidate to close the gap.
