Developments

  1. AP and Reuters call Democratic Senate flips in Iowa, Maine and North Carolina

    The Associated Press and Reuters project Democratic victories in three additional Republican-held U.S. Senate seats: Josh Turek defeated Ashley Hinson in Iowa, Troy Jackson defeated incumbent Susan Collins in Maine, and Roy Cooper defeated Michael Whatley in North Carolina. These individual media race calls form part of the wider Democratic Senate takeover already reported; state certification is still a separate process.
