Will someone please explain to me how the Republicans 'gained' seats in the Senate?

[McRocket]

They had a +6 margin over the Democrats going into the midterms (52-46). And now they (apparently) have a +4 margin over the Democrats (51-47)...if I am not mistaken.

So where did the Republicans 'gain' that I keep reading about?

Well you see we had a election, and we got more votes then they did. You must be a new citizen to the USA

I think AZ and a Fla new election is still in the mix.

Votes are irrelevant to voting in the Senate. Seats are what count.

So you are saying that even though the Reps appeared to have their margin of superiority reduced - you consider it a victory because they got (apparently) more votes than the Dems did?

So noted.

Before the election:
Despite a seemingly energized grassroots electorate, the Democratic Party had been viewed as a long shot to take back control of the Senate where Republicans currently hold a narrow majority of 51 seats to 49 seats for Democrats.

After:
As the sun rose in the nation's capital Wednesday, McConnell emerged as the biggest winner of the 2018 midterm elections. Republicans looked to have increased their 51-49 majority to as many as 54 seats:

Republicans' Senate wins will help President Trump, his judicial and Cabinet nominees, and GOP chances in 2020

51-49 v. 54-46, if it holds.

Well Fla might have everyone vote again just to make sure that the right votes get counted again, Soros and Steyner were not happy with the millions they lost in the vote.

And the Democrats got 12 million more votes.

Republicans don't win elections. Not by the people anyway.

That's impossible. Two Senators, who were both re-elected, have no party. So your Duopoly numbers cannot add up to 100.

Dems are busy stuffing the ballot boxes in Arizona, they’ll try to steal that one too.
