The final 2022 verdict for balance of power in Washington. GOP takes the House, narrowly, and DEMs +1 in Senate.

Five states - four holds; one pickup for DEMS - where GOP began 2022 confident. Other factors, too, but in all five Trump backed GOP nominees struggled in suburbs.

Senator Warnock, running constantly past two years in specials and runoffs, now has what for him has to be a strange new world: a six year term.

Iām with bob. First job after paper boy. Dishwasher then line cook. Might have tasted the beer a tad before legal. Peanut shells on the bar floor. Open kitchen. Eyes on the transformation of the combat zone to the theater district. Hurts to come home and see it closed.

Keeping the Senate majority is giant. Federal judicial appointments, routine and political Cabinet turnover, votes/ leverage in $$ negotiations. Dem led oversight. Then add in escalating GOP infighting.

A look at how the late mail votes are breaking in the uncalled House races. So far, it's decent for Dems in California, but not enough to be favored to go ahead without additional strength https://t.co/FZxO3RKZUK

Republicans lead in the race for House control, but Democrats still have hope, thanks to mail ballot trends in California. Weāll provide updates.

On Veterans Day, we should remember to say thank you every day. Keepsakes here from my dad, Korea era Army, and my great uncle Ted who lost a leg in World War I combat and is forever my role model for optimism and tenacity and resilience.

Still a lot we donāt know re where midterms leave us. But as he vents and blames others, this is beyond clear, Trump on losing side of last 3 big elections: 2018, 2020 and 2022.
Trump is indeed furious this morning, particularly about Mehmet Oz, and is blaming everyone who advised him to back Oz -- including his wife, describing it as not her best decision, according to people close to him.

Will ask. Thanks.
@JohnKingCNN I noticed that you havenāt had updated results for the IL-17 specifically Rock Island County. Those results are in and your decision desk needs to look at them because it will change the results

First votes from KY and IN. GOP Senate incumbents lead - and heavily favored. Safe GOP House districts, too. the pace and stakes get very real soon: GA, VA among the 7p closings.
