The Democratic Party, represented by its nominee Roy Cooper, snatches a Senate seat from North Carolina Republicans, which is the first of the four seats it needs to control the chamber. According to the network, Cooper, one of the party's leading candidates in this election cycle, will become the first Democrat elected to the US Senate from North Carolina since Kay Hagen in 2008. After being a tough target for Democrats in recent election cycles, North Carolina has become a prime target for change after two-term Republican Sen. Tom Tillis did not seek re-election last year.
