Democrat Peggy Flanagan, the Minnesota lieutenant governor, is projected to win the Minnesota Senate seat, beating GOP opponent Michele Tafoya.
Flanagan is the first indigenous woman elected to the U.S. Senate.
Idaho Republican Sen. Jim Risch is projected to retain his Senate seat after he defeated independent opponent Todd Achilles.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries argued that today's election results were a rejection of "corruption" and "extremism," as Democrats are projected to take control of the House and put him on track to make history as the first Black speaker of the chamber.
"The American people have spoken and made clear they've had enough of the extremism, enough of the corruption. They want a Congress that's going to deliver for the American people, and that is exactly what House Democrats will do as soon as we get into office in January," he said while delivering remarks in D.C.
As House Democrats prepare to launch multiple investigations into the administration, Jeffries also promised more accountability.
"We're going to bring accountability to those who have visited unprecedented corruption on this country, because if you have people in high office who are so focused on enriching themselves, their family members, their friends, or their donors, then they're not focused on making life better for the American people. But House Democrats will put the American people first," he said.

Democrat Rob Sand will defeat Republican Zach Lahn, flipping the seat to Democratic control for the first time in 20 years.
Sand, 44, campaigned on his record as the state auditor and built trust with voters as the only Democrat elected to statewide office. He ran on an anti-corruption platform with the slogan to help Iowa become "not redder or bluer, but better and truer."
