keep their majority in the chamber. In this installment of “Model Talk” on the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast, Nate Silver and Galen Druke discuss how the Senate outcome impacts the


upcoming Georgia Senate runoff and the projections for key U.S. House races that will determine control of the chamber. They also break down how pollsters did this cycle, including how


partisan pollsters over-projected Republican gains. Finally, they answer some listener questions, including why New York and Florida were the exception to the national trend towards


Democrats. _You can listen to the episode by clicking the “play” button in the audio player above or by __downloading it in iTunes__, the __ESPN App__ or your favorite podcast platform. If
