Combined with Democrats flipping Cory Gardner’s seat in Colorado, the two parties have canceled out their Senate gains so far tonight.

Biden underperforming in Florida and Georgia compared to polls
We still have a long night ahead of us, but the results so far indicate Joe Biden has underperformed in Florida and Georgia in comparison to his polling there.
With about 91% of the Florida vote in, Donald Trump leads Biden by about 3 points, 51%-48%.
In Georgia, where 54% of the vote is in, Trump leads by 13 points, 56%-43%.
Florida was seen as a toss-up, although a recent poll showed Biden ahead there by 5 points. The Democratic nominee was also seen as slightly favored to win Georgia.
