Latest: Republican control of US House probable but Senate a toss-up

Both chambers of the US Congress were in play on Friday morning as ballots continued to be counted in the key battleground states of Arizona and Nevada as the US Senate race in Georgia heads to a run-off.

Democratic incumbent senators in the two south-western states were in tight races against their Republican opponents to win re-election. A party can win control of the Senate should they win Arizona and Nevada. If not, the run-off in Georgia, scheduled for December, will decide the upper chamber's fate.

Meanwhile, the Republican party edged closer to a majority in the House of Representatives. But speculation of a “red wave” did not come to fruition for the Republicans who may only narrowly win the lower chamber.

Islamophobia definition

A widely accepted definition was made by the All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims in 2019: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.” It further defines it as “inciting hatred or violence against Muslims”.
