But Republicans held on to governors' mansions in Florida, Texas and Georgia, another battleground state Mr Biden narrowly won two years ago. Representative Kevin McCarthy, the Republican poised to be house speaker if the party takes control of the chamber, sounded a note of optimism as he told supporters: "When you wake up tomorrow, we will be in the majority."
