US Midterms: Key Election Results So Far

The Republicans look to be in a good position to retake one of the two Houses of Congress, the House of Representatives.

Eko Hot Blog reports that the race for the Senate, however, is too close to call, with the parties still neck and neck.

EDITOR’S PICKS

Although the Republicans have made gains, the party hasn’t suffered the losses in the Senate and governor battles that polls had suggested could happen.

In fact, in many of the key races, the early front-runners have held on.

In Pennsylvania, Democrat John Fetterman outperformed polls to win the Senate race against Oz Mehmet, the Republican candidate, and former Oprah Winfrey Show celebrity doctor

The Georgia race is still a nail-biter between Democrat senator Raphael Warnock and his Trump-backed challenger Herschel Walker. Officials say there will most likely be another vote in four weeks to decide the contest

But Republican Brian Kemp prevailed to retain the state governorship over high-profile challenger Stacey Abrams

The Senate race in Nevada remains too close to call. Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto – the first Latina to serve as a senator – is trailing her Republican rival, Adam Laxalt. Election officials say they have been flooded by thousands of mail-in ballots which will take several days to count.
