2024 Elections

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.

Columnist E.J. Dionne wrote Tuesday night that he was impressed by Harris' showing in Pennsylvania — where she's taken a strong lead in several crucial counties — and Michigan.

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.

Nate Cohn, chief political analyst for the Times, noted around 9:20 p.m. ET that the paper of record was making its first estimate on election night.

Vice President Kamala Harris has taken a strong lead in several swing state counties, one of which typically go the way of the nation, according to a CNN analysis.

Pennsylvania voters in Erie — a "bellwether county" that can go red or blue — had gone for Harris over former President Donald Trump at a split of about 59 percent to 40 percent as of 9:20 p.m., CNN analyst John King reported Tuesday night,

CNN anchors called a new exit poll on Tuesday night "brutal" for Vice President Kamala Harris.

David Chalian revealed exit poll results for Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin, where voters were asked their opinion of President Joe Biden. In Arizona, 57 percent of voters said they disapproved of Biden. In Michigan, that number was 55 percent.

The far-right extremists known as "Groypers" may have violated election laws in Arizona, reported Wired — by passing out hamburgers and hot dogs to voters.

The giveaway "was organized by the far-right College Republicans United group, in association with the Patriot Party of Arizona. It began just after polls opened at the Mesa Convention Center," said the report.

Another exit poll showed a "major reversal" among a key constituency — and could prove ominous for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Latino men are breaking for former President Donald Trump over Harris 54 percent to 44 percent, according to an NBC News exit poll. The outlet called it a "major reversal" from four years ago, when Latino men supported Joe Biden by a whopping 59 percent to 36 percent.

The closely-watched North Carolina gubernatorial election between Democratic state Attorney General Josh Stein and Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson has ended in a victory for Stein, Fox News and ABC.

The contest, which also comes as former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have been competing hard in the battleground state that narrowly went for Trump twice at the presidential level, was the Republicans' effort to win back a gubernatorial seat the party hasn't held since 2017, when then-Democratic Attorney General Roy Cooper unseated incumbent GOP Gov. Pat McCrory.

Republicans saw their first big gain of the night in the race to retake control of the U.S. Senate after West Virginia’s Republican Gov. Jim Justice defeated Democrat Glenn Elliott for the seat being vacated by Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV).

Justice's win was reported by several news outlets.

A CNN panel of anchors expressed shock as the results of another exit poll showed a major flip in the crucial battleground state of Georgia.

David Chalian shared the results Tuesday night of a poll of independent voters that he called "the story of these exit polls in Georgia."

While Donald Trump spent part of Election Day with Melania at the polls, questioning the integrity of the vote, Vice President Kamala Harris took some time to reach out to voters by phone banking at a Democratic National Committee event where she made a surprise entrance to talk with volunteers.

"Are you fired up? Ready to go?" an apparent DNC operative asked volunteers, who cheered both times, "yes!"
