The results from the national elections still won’t be clear for several more days with absentee ballots being counted in battleground states and runoffs expected. With that said, pre-election polling data appeared not to mirror some of the results that are being finalized at this point. The Senate appears as if it will remain in Republican control, yet by a slimmer margin. One runoff election remains in Georgia between Kelly Loeffler (R) and Raphael Warnock (D). The runoff will take place Jan. 5. NAAA’s AgAv PAC supported the reelections of Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and Steve Daines (R-Mont.), but unfortunately, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) lost his reelection battle.
Although the U.S. House of Representatives will remain in Democratic control, Republicans did eke out a few more additions to their minority. The presidency results are still in limbo with possibly all the marbles coming down to Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, which will be counting absentee ballots postmarked on or before Election Day through Nov. 12. The one result that is assured is that governing gridlock will likely continue, as not one party appears as if it will have control of both sides of the Congress and the presidency.
