Meanwhile, the Republicans have also flipped the Senate which it has failed to gain majority since 2021 according to a projection by the CNN.
The previous Democrat majority in the Senate had already looked precarious, with just a razor-thin margin — and the Republican win was cinched after GOP candidates flipped Senate seats in both Ohio and West Virginia.
Republicans are also still defending a narrow majority in the House, which could take a week or more before the results are officially determined.
Senate races: Sen. Deb Fischer of Nebraska and Rep. John Curtis of Utah, both Republicans, will win their Senate races, CNN projects. Meanwhile, Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar was re-elected in Minnesota.
House races: Republicans will flip three North Carolina seats in the House, with CNN projected wins for GOP candidates Brad Knott, Tim Moore and Addison McDowell.
California Democrats Laura Friedman and Luz Rivas, Wisconsin Republican Tony Wied and Minnesota Democrat Kelly Morrison will also win their congressional dictricts, CNN projects.
Governors races: Democrat Bob Ferguson will be Washington’s next governor, CNN projects. Meanwhile, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox won reelection — the sixth Republican in a row to serve as governor in the state.
Ballot measures: Colorado and Arizona voters will approve measures to enshrine the right to abortion in their state constitutions, CNN projects.
In Colorado, the procedure remains legal with no gestational limit, but the projected approval of the amendment means public funds can be used toward abortions. Meanwhile in Arizona, the projected approval expands access to the procedure in the state, which currently bans abortion at 15 weeks into pregnancy. Now, it will be allowed “up to fetal viability” — which doctors believe to be around 22 to 24 weeks.
Eight states will also bar noncitizen voting, CNN projects — even though that’s already illegal in federal elections.
