Probably already posted and discussed, but here goes anyway:

Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss., on Tuesday easily defeated former Democratic Rep. Mike Espy in the runoff election in Mississippi - the final contest of a 2018 elections campaign that will give Republicans 53 Senate seats in the next Congress.

53-47. What a coincidence.
