To win the U.S. presidency, a candidate must win 270 of the total 538 electoral votes.
U.S. Congress balance of power
Democrats have held a slight edge in the U.S. Senate for the last two years. But Republicans will now hold at least 51 seats, enough for an outright majority.
Similarly, Republicans are looking to hold on to power in the U.S. House of Representatives, but as they are every two years, all 435 of the House seats are up for election.
