Biden administration's Middle East policy could be determined by Senate elections
Several Senate races remain undecided. If Republicans maintain their majority, it could complicate President-elect Joe Biden's Iran policy.
A few undetermined election results are holding the future of the US Senate hostage. The Middle East policy of the incoming Joe Biden administration depends on whether Republicans are able to maintain their narrow majority over Democrats.
The latest data from The New York Times shows Republicans and Democrats tied at 48 seats each in the Senate. There are four races that have yet to be determined. In North Carolina, Republican Sen. Thom Tillis has a narrow lead over challenger Cal Cunningham with 97% of the vote counted. In Alaska, Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan has a roughly 30% lead over Al Gross with 61% of the votes tallied. In Georgia, however, both Senate races are heading for a January run-off election. The incumbents in the Georgia elections are Republicans.
