00:00Good evening and welcome back to the Gulf News coverage of the 2018 US midterm elections.

00:09As Scott had pointed out earlier, the House of Congress is likely to swing Democrat, although

00:14we haven't got any results back yet. And we walked you through some of the key battleground

00:19states for that. Now we're going to look at the Senate, a much tighter race and perhaps

00:23more likely to be won by the Republicans, according to a lot of statistical models.

00:28So let's start with some of the seats that Democrats currently occupy that the Republicans

00:32are trying to knock off. First up in North Dakota, Democrats are forecasted to be losing

00:38by 11 percentage points. So that's likely to be won by the Republicans. Not a good start

00:44for the Democrats. Also in Missouri and Indiana, they're very, very close races, according

00:50to real clear politics who are forecasting some of the results. Elsewhere in Florida,

00:56Montana and West Virginia, we have some better news for Democrats who are more likely to

01:01win those Senate seats. And also in Minnesota, Ohio, New Jersey, Michigan and Wisconsin.

01:09Now elsewhere, the Democrats are trying to win seats from the Republicans, and that's

01:14where things get a bit more interesting. It's very close predicted in Nevada and Arizona

01:21and also in Texas and Tennessee. Now, if the Democrats can win those seats from the Republicans,

01:28then they do stand a slim chance of taking over the Senate. But again, that is predicted

01:33to be relatively unlikely at this point. Of course, we'll be back with further updates

01:38as they're made available. For now, this is Ed Clouse. Thanks for watching.
