New Jersey · SenateCalled · Democratic hold

Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire: AP has called each for the Democrats — expected holds of safe seats.

Michigan · SenateCalled · Democratic hold

Maine uses ranked-choice voting, but Jackson cleared 50%, so no retabulation decides the outcome.
