Ticket-splitters also were decisive in the Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada Senate races this year, which Democrats won even as Trump won their states.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans flipped Democratic-controlled Senate seats in West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Montana. In the latter three cases, defeated Sens. Sherrod Brown, Bob Casey and Jon Tester also ran ahead of Harris but couldn\u2019t overcome their states\u2019 shifts toward the GOP. <\/p>\n<p>Gallego led comfortably after the first results were released on election night, but his lead narrowed as more ballots were counted. Arizona is notorious for a drawn-out count because most people vote by mail \u2014 which takes longer to verify and process \u2014 including many who drop off ballots on Election Day. <\/p>\n<p>The son of immigrants from Mexico and Colombia, Gallego was raised in Chicago and eventually accepted to Harvard University.
