(CNN) – CNN projects that former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat, will defeat Republican first-term incumbent John Sununu in a rematch for the Senate seat in New Hampshire.
The win gives Democrats a majority of 51 in the Senate.
In 2002, Sununu defeated Shaheen in a mid-term election year.
CNN projections are based on actual results and exit poll data from key areas.
