The Democrats will retain control of the U.S. Senate with Senator Catherine Cortez Masto winning re-election in Nevada, NBC News projects.

The win will ensure the Democrats' hold as Vice President Kamala Harris can cast the tie-breaking vote if the upper chamber is evenly split 50-50. 

"I feel good and I'm looking forward to the next couple years," Biden said of the result, speaking at a meeting of Southeast Asian leaders in Phnom Penh on Sunday.  

One Senate race remains up in the air – a runoff in Georgia set for December 6, in which the Democrats could add to their majority.
