Republicans Outperform - Republicans successfully defended majorities in Democratic-targeted chambers, including the Iowa House, Minnesota Senate, North Carolina House and Senate, Pennsylvania House and Senate and the Texas House. Votes are still being counted in Maricopa County, but it now appears likely that the GOP will hold its House and Senate majorities in Arizona. In addition, Republicans have flipped the New Hampshire House and Senate. Republicans have secured the numerical majority in the Alaska House.
