Three days after polls closed in the United States midterm elections, neither Democrats nor Republicans had attained enough victories to claim control of either the House of Representatives or the Senate.Counting was set to continue across the country on Friday, with Republicans closing in on the 218 seats needed to reach what is projected to be a far less than expected majority in the House. By late on Thursday, they had taken 211 seats compared with the Democrats’ 192 in the 435-seat chamber.The Senate race remained far less certain, with counting continuing in key races in Arizona and Nevada. Some trends from the tally have boosted Democrats’ hopes of winning both races, and thus attaining a 50-seat majority in the 100-seat chamber, where the vice president – in this case Democrat Kamala Harris – breaks ties.
