Republicans Gain Four Senate Seats in Election
The Republicans netted at least four Senate seats with gains across several contests. In Oregon Democrat Morse faced Republican Art Packwood with results still uncertain Wednesday night. In Kentucky Democrat Katherine Peden defeated Republican Perry Hooper for the seat, while Arizona saw conservative Barry Goldwater win Hayden’s vacated seat. The shift suggests a possible coalition of liberal northern Democrats and moderate Republicans on civil rights and education funding.
