Early starts special election coverage begins right now. Good morning, everyone. A very Early Morning. Welcome to early start special election edition. And i am john berman. It is 3 00 a. M. In the east. As we said, there is major breaking news this morning. Republicans have taken control of the United States senate, and they did it in a tidal wave fashion. It was a night many had forecast would be filled with close contests. Instead, it was near to a blowout for republicans, who picked up more than the six seats they needed to take control of the senate. Now races still remain unsettled in alaska and louisiana. But as things stand now, right at this moment, republicans will hold at least 52 seats in the senate, picking up seven over the current congress. Democrats will hold 45 seats. Lets begin with those republican pickups. West virginia has its first female u. S. Senator, republican Shelley Moore capito defeating natalie tenet. She will take the seat of jay rockefeller.
