The fallout from the Presidential race may change the control of the Senate after next week’s election.
South Dakota Senator John Thune says republicans have a number of races on the edge……

It would take a switch of at least four seats with a Hillary Clinton victory to give democrats control of the Senate.
Thune says there will be a narrow divide in any case…..

Thune says he hopes Members of Congress can find some common ground after the election….

Thune, the number three republican in the Senate, has donated two million dollars from his campaign funds to the National Republican Senatorial Committee to help candidates in those close races.
