Story summary

Sen. Jim Justice, R-W. Va., said the GOP can "forget" about taking back the Senate majority in 2028 after Democrats secured control of both chambers of Congress following the midterm elections. Eight Republican-held Senate seats were flipped, bringing the Democratic caucus to 55 seats, with the potential for another seat if Democrat Mary Peltola holds onto her narrow lead in Alaska. Justice attributed the party's losses to the war in Iran, which led to surging fuel prices, with gas prices nearly 90 cents per gallon higher than a year ago, according to AAA. The national average was about $3.94 per gallon compared to $3.07 a year earlier.
