2024 Elections

As a second domino fell to former President Donald Trump late Tuesday, CNN anchors called it "very, very bad news" for Vice President Kamala Harris and pointed to a "flashing light" that spelled doom for her in a critical battleground state.

As CNN projected a Trump win in Georgia, Dana Bash delivered a grim assessment of Harris' chances.

The Republican Party seized control of the Senate late Tuesday as Republican candidates flipped seats in Ohio and West Virginia and fended off a surprising challenge in Nebraska.

Bernie Moreno defeated incumbent Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in Ohio and Gov. Jim Justice won in retiring independent Sen. Joe Manchin's seat in West Virginia. Incumbent Republican Deb Fischer held onto her seat in Nebraska.

As former President Donald Trump drew closer to reclaiming the White House — despite a criminal conviction, authoritarian threats against "enemies," former allies who reported he praised Nazis, signs of cognitive decline and a running mate who says people without children are sociopaths — his critics cast angry glares at one person.

"Reminder that Trump would just be an angry retiree shouting at the TV right now had [Sen.] Mitch McConnell decided to do the right thing after 1/6," New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser wrote on X. "Amazing."

Vice President Kamala Harris' path to 270 electoral votes all but hinges on a "massive overperformance" in the suburbs of Philadelphia as she trails in the critical battleground state, according to a political insider.

One of the most critical and intensely-watched Senate contests in America has been called for the Republican challenger.

Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown faced the fight of his life in this contest against Donald Trump-backed businessman Bernie Moreno. Trump has broadly been expected throughout the election cycle to carry Ohio easily, giving Brown a difficult path to re-election.

The state of North Carolina has been called for Donald Trump in the presidential contest. The Washington Post and the New York Times made the prediction.

North Carolina was heavily targeted in the final days of the campaign by both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.

Former President Donald Trump's team has become increasingly ecstatic as election results suggest his followers may need not to storm the U.S. Capitol as they did on Jan. 6, 2021.

In the latest high-profile statewide race in Texas, the Senate contest between GOP incumbent Ted Cruz and Democratic Dallas-area Congressman Colin Allred has been called for Cruz.

The result was called by Fox News and NBC News.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris' strong position in two vital swing states suggests the election could be decided in one whose most populous city former President Donald Trump notoriously described as "horrible," a Washington Post analyst said.

Democratic county executive Angela Alsobrooks has defeated Republican former Gov. Larry Hogan in the Maryland Senate contest, Politico reported on Tuesday evening.

It's a win that comes after Hogan, who served two terms as governor, had sought to make a generally safe blue state competitive in the Senate contest.

Rep. Andy Kim (D-03) is poised to become the first Korean American senator in U.S. history after the Associated Press projected he defeated his Republican opponent, hotelier Curtis Bashaw, in Tuesday’s general election.

Kim, the Boston-born and Burlington County-raised son of Korean immigrants, soared to victory after a roller-coaster campaign in which he capitalized on voters’ long-simmering resentments over New Jersey’s notoriously nepotistic politics and powerful party bosses.

The New York Times delivered its first presidential estimate Tuesday night as results poured in from Georgia and North Carolina.
