Republicans are still expected to take a tiny majority in the House of Representatives, but they will fall short in the Senate.

WATCH: "WE WILL OPEN YOU UP LIKE A SOFT PEANUT"
Multiple Republicans in the Senate are asking for leadership votes to be delayed as they await final results in several races that remain uncalled. It all seems like a very reasonable request, and yet Senate leadership, under Mitch McConnell, is trying to push forward with the votes regardless. They need more time to look honestly at where the party stands in the Senate and what direction they might want to take things forward.

Senator Hawley and others are not pleased with this and are looking for a new leader for their party in the Senate.
Hawley says current leadership badmouthed their candidates amid the election, and he will not stand by a leadership team that does something like this. He is frustrated by the actions of those in charge, and he is looking to gather as many people as he can on his team to hold some of these people accountable.
