Democrats retained control of the Senate on Saturday, ensuring a harder time for Republicans to thwart President Joe Biden's agenda over the next two years.

Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto won reelection on Saturday, giving Democrats the 50 seats needed for control of the upper chamber, with Vice President Kamala Harris able to cast the tiebreaking vote.

Democrats could still win another, however, if Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock is able to retain his seat in a December 6 runoff against his Republican challenger, Herschel Walker.

Meanwhile, the fate of the House was still up in the air as of Sunday morning and with it, the legislative agenda. But the Senate result paves the way for Biden to keep reshaping the federal judiciary as he sees fit.
