It's been an extraordinary night for the Democrats so far in the US midterms.
They have taken control of the Senate and are projected to take control of the House of Representatives too, according to the BBC's partner CBS News.
Senate
The results in the Senate are beyond what the Democrats would have expected. North Carolina was a likely pick-up but South Carolina was a huge shock and Kansas has not returned a Democratic senator since 1932.
Texas, Iowa and Ohio have also turned blue. There are still two toss-up seats to come in Alaska and Maine. Even Mississippi is now on a knife edge, according to CBS News.
