NBC calls the Iowa Senate race for Republican Joni Ernst.

โ€œJoni Ernst is over the top in Iowa,โ€ MSNBCโ€™s Rachel Maddow says. โ€That means Republicans are over the top in terms of Senate control.โ€

Local press called the race for Ernst earlier in the evening. NBC hasnโ€™t called North Carolina yet; the Associated Press called it for Republican Thom Tillis moments ago.
