Mary Landrieu Loses Senate Seat

Three-term Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) has lost in her state's runoff election to Bill Cassidy (R), who is currently in the House of Representatives.  Cassidy has also been a physician and a state legislator.  His victory will increase the Republican majority in the upcoming Senate to 54 seats.  The runoff was held because no candidate garnered 50% of the vote during the regular election on November 4.
