U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., won re-election over Patrick Murphy. In Illinois, Democrat Tammy Duckworth unseated incumbent U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, a Republican, while Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat, will win in Connecticut, reports indicate.
In Indiana, Republican Todd Young appeared poised to knock off Democrat Evan Bayh’s bid to return to the U.S. Senate. He served as a senator from 1999 until 2011.
Young will succeed retiring Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind.
In previous races, Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., Tim Scott, R-S.C., and Rob Portman, R-Ohio, won re-election, reports indicate.
In Georgia, U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., is leading Democrat Jim Barksdale and Libertarian Allen Buckley, according to the Secretary of State’s office. It remains to be seen whether he will eclipse the 50 percent mark needed to avoid a runoff.
