  1. ^ Majority control in an evenly divided Senate is determined by the Vice President of the United States, who can break tied votes in their constitutional capacity as President of the Senate. Accordingly, Senate control requires 51 seats without control of the vice presidency or 50 seats with control of the vice presidency.
  2. ^ Cite error: The named reference majority was invoked but never defined (see the help page).
