National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn (R-Texas) conceded Sunday that it will take two election cycles for his party to take control of the Senate.Cornyn: Will probably take two cycles for GOP to get Senate

Only two days shy of the midterm elections on Tuesday, Cornyn said Republicans will "make a lot of headway" but "I'm not predicting that we will get the majority this cycle."
