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.

The GOP was defending just 11 seats where candidates were seeking reelection, compared with 23 seats that Democrats were trying to retain.

In Ohio, Republican nominee Bernie Moreno was projected by NBC News to unseat incumbent Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, boosting the GOP effort.

In Nebraska, incumbent Republican Sen. Deb Fischer won re-election.

A total of more than $1 billion was expected to be spent by Election Day on winning just three of the seats at stake, in Montana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
