GOP senator says Republicans can 'forget 2028' as party looks to reclaim Upper Chamber

Sen. Jim Justice, R-W. Va., said the GOP can "forget" about taking back the Senate majority in 2028 after Democrats' blue wave secured the majority in both chambers of Congress following last week's midterm elections.

Eight Republican-held Senate seats were flipped, bringing the Democratic caucus to 55 seats after Democrat Scott Colom was projected on Wednesday to win Mississippi’s Senate race. The caucus could gain another seat if Democrat Mary Peltola holds onto her narrow lead in Alaska.
