HOUSE: Recounts recently confirmed Republican candidates flipped two House seats initially thought to be retained by Democrats. These flips ended the Democrats’ veto-proof supermajority in the chamber, which they had held for the past two years, though the party still maintains a strong 43-22 majority.
SENATE: Democrats hold a 23-12 majority, one seat short of a supermajority. However, changes are on the horizon for the Senate’s membership. In the past month, two Democratic senators have announced their resignations, and a Republican senator is stepping down after winning election to the Douglas County Commission.
