Thank you so much for tuning in to our election night live blog. We saw a lot happen tonight, but we are still waiting on results in a number of races.
Here are some of the top takeaways:
- NBC projects that the Democrats have won a majority in the House of Representatives. Republicans will remain in control of the Senate, and grew their majority by several seats.
- Powered by a suburban revolt against Trump, Democrats reclaimed a majority in the House, and scored a string of upsets in doing so. By midnight ET, the party had already picked up over two dozen seats in the House, more than the 23 needed to take the majority, with many West Coast results still outstanding.
- Republicans successfully defended Senate seats in Texas and Tennessee, while also picking up seats in Indiana, Missouri and North Dakota.
- In gubernatorial races, Democrats made some key gains even as Andrew Gillum in Florida was defeated and Stacey Abrams in Georgia was trailing. Democrats won in Wisconsin â€" defeating Trump ally and former Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker â€" as well as Illinois, Minnesota, Colorado and Nevada.
- There were many historic firsts.
- A record number of women were elected to the House of Representatives. As of early Wednesday, at least 95 women had won seats, breaking the current session's record of 84 women.
But by 5:15 a.m. ET there were still several races whose outcomes haven't yet been determined, because they remained "too close to call." They include:
- The Senate race in Montana
- The Senate race in Florida
- The Senate Race in Arizona
- The Georgia gubernatorial race
- The Connecticut gubernatorial race.
The Alaska gubernatorial race was also considered "too early to call."
