🗳️ THE MORNING AFTER 🗳️
Thank you to every Texan who stood in line, every poll worker, and every volunteer who kept Election Day running. 🇺🇸
Here's where things stood as of about 10:40 PM CT Tuesday night:
TEXAS
• U.S. Senate: James Talarico (D) is the projected winner over Ken Paxton (R), per the AP, NBC News and Decision Desk HQ. Per The Texas Tribune, it's the first Democratic U.S. Senate win in Texas since 1988.
• Governor: NBC News projects Gina Hinojosa (D) the winner over Gov. Greg Abbott (R), about 57% to 42% with roughly two-thirds of the expected vote in. The Texas Tribune reports Abbott conceded around 10 PM.
• Attorney General: Nathan Johnson (D) leads Mayes Middleton (R), about 56% to 43%, with about 57% in. Not called yet.
All results are unofficial until counties canvass and the state certifies.
CALLED SO FAR (per AP, Fox News Decision Desk and CBS News)
• Senate: Roy Cooper (D) in North Carolina, a pickup; Annie Andrews (D) in South Carolina, a pickup; Sherrod Brown (D) in Ohio, a pickup per the AP; Adam Hamilton (D) in Kansas, a pickup per the AP; Josh Turek (D) in Iowa, a pickup; Jon Ossoff (D) in Georgia; Ashley Moody (R) in Florida; Mark Warner (D) in Virginia
• Governor: Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) in Georgia; Byron Donalds (R) in Florida; Josh Shapiro (D) in Pennsylvania; JB Pritzker (D) in Illinois
• Early House calls include Ed Gallrein (R) in KY-4 and Randy Fine (R) in FL-6
CONTROL OF CONGRESS
• House: NBC News and CBS News project Democrats will win the majority.
• Senate: NBC News projects Democrats will win the majority, with Democratic pickups including Texas, Kansas, Iowa, South Carolina, North Carolina and Ohio.
• As of about 10:40 PM CT, the AP had not yet called control of either chamber; it calls control only once enough races are decided. Michigan and Maine were still being counted.
Let's let every legal vote be counted and give the results time. Whatever the final count, let's pray for our leaders and for unity.
