Vermont is the most secular state in the Union.  Preacher Mikey wouldn't exactly be their cup of tea.

Anthony

"Senator, our reports from the Maricopa County volunteers say turnout is high in these last hours," the staffer told him with a serious expression, "they're encouraged by the results coming so far- many report they see a chance for Pence and were scared into going out of their way to vote."

The running mate nodded. "Good, thank you Judy. Tell them all to keep working their harders, we need each and every vote in Arizona and Nevada and Texas and all these other states where polls are still open..."

"Senator," another staffer interrupted him urgently, holding a phone. "We're getting reports that the GOP in some North Carolina prescints is trying to tell people the polls are closed even though they have about ten minutes to vote..."

"Tell that that we'll f**king sue them if they keep doing this!" Anthony frowned, his anger with his homestate's GOP flaring. "It's unacceptable to us and we have the means to make them pay."

"Immediately, sir." The staffer went off quickly, dialing some number.

Anthony sighed and sat on a box full of stickers for the celebration. The environment in the Buttigieg HQs in South Bend was optimistic and energetic on the outside, but very tense in the inside. After two elections in a row where they surprisingly lost, Democrats were afraid that it'll happen again and DNC Chairwoman Jennifer Granholm was on edge, making them all work hard for every vote they can get. Staffers were running around, phones were ringing and quick words were constantly exchanged, making the back of the hall full of ruckus.

Outside, in the stadium, was a huge crowd of supporters packing the watch party. Right now Gretchen Whitmer was out there, pumping up the crowd with a fiery, optimistic speech. They had someone speaking almost constantly, bringing out stars, surrogates and major campaign figures, and the crowd loved it. But mostly, all eyes were on the large screen showing CNN's election night coverage.

Overall, Anthony felt like the numbers were encouraging- they were doing what they needed to do to win in Georgia and even Indiana was a possibility, while Kentucky and South Carolina weren't even called for Pence yet. Florida, the prepertual swing state, had numbers that promised a close result again, but Anthony thought that the Democrats were doing well enough. They'd only lose it if turnout in the panhandle was through the roof.

"Stand by, folks, we're closing the polls in several other states, and we're ready to make another call!" Anderson Cooper said, and everyone grew quiet to listen.

But if it does have to be a Pence victory, for the love of God, let Butti win the PV by double digits like I predicted. Tongue

ELECTION NIGHT, Part III


Cooper: ...Stand by, folks, we're closing the polls in several other states, and we're ready to make another call! First, we can finally call the state of Kentucky where, as expected, Vice President Pence and the Republicans will easily win. We can also call South Carolina for the Vice President as we get more votes from there that confirm it, a fairly early call. Additionally, right at poll closing, we can call the state of West Virginia for Pence, while the swing states of North Carolina and Ohio will remain too close to call.

Enten: Both of these states are going to be interesting. Ohio has definitely moved right in recent years, and is now a Republican-leaning state, but in a good night for the Democrats Governor Buttigieg could win it. Definitely a state to watch. North Carolina, meanwhile, is home to Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Anthony Foxx, so we'll need to see if he delivers in this swing state. Polls show that in a close race, Buttigeg is likely to win it, but if Pence is having a good night he could very well win here. Now let's take a look at Florida again- we can see that it continues to be a strong Democratic lead, but wait for the rural, panhandle areas to start reporting in half a hour. For now, it's still a pure tossup.

Tapper: Well, so far, everything is going as expected, but there are mixed signs for both parties- for one, Democrats would probably prefer to be leading by more in Florida at this stage, and the early call in South Carolina, which they're banking on as a state that will move left with the time due to a high minority and college educated population, must be disappointing. On the other hand, Republicans must be worried by their narrowing lead in Indiana, where many urban areas are still out, and they seem to be headed for a pretty bad loss in Virginia, if current predicted numbers hold. So this could still go either way.

Bash: And in the downballot races, we have some results too. In Ohio, Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown's tough reelection race against Republican U.S. Rep. Troy Balderson is too close to call right now, while the West Virginia Senate race between Democratic former State Senator Richard Ojeda and Republican State Delegate Roger Hanshaw for the seat vacated by retiring Democratic Senator Joe Manchin is right now too early to call, with the Republicans strongly favoured to gain the seat. In the gubernatorial field, the North Carolina race between Democratic former State Treasurer Janet Cowell and Republican Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest is too close to call, while Republican Evan Jenkins will be easily reelected in West Virginia, our first gubernatorial call of the night.

ELECTION NIGHT, Part IV


Knowles: And now, as we reach the 8 AM hour, we're in the most decisive parts of the night- we're going to be closing the polls in a large number of states now, and soon we expect to begin making calls in various swing states as we receive more and more results. So as of poll closing, we can call the states of Alabama, Oklahoma and Tennessee for the Republican ticket and Vice President Mike Pence, while the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Maine's first congressional district, and Washington, D.C., can already be called for the Democratic ticket and Governor Pete Buttigieg. The states of Mississippi, Missouri and Kansas are too early to call, while Michigan, New Hampshire, Maine and its 2nd congressional district, Pennsylvania and Texas are all too close to call.

Enten: Indeed, the next hour or two are going to be decisive. In Florida, for example, we've closed the polls in the panhandle right now, and though the Democrats hold a lead right now we expect it to tighten considerably soon, making this again a very contentious state. And we need to watch for the results in states like Texas, where Democrats need to really run up the numbers in the cities, suburbs and border counties, and in states like Michigan and Pennsylvania, where they need high turnout in cities like Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Detroit and their suburbs. It's also interesting to watch Kansas, a state where Republicans still hold a decisive lead federally but has been moving left due to growing cities and suburbs, and right now seems poised to be closer than in 2016 and in 2020. This is certainly going to be an interesting night for both parties.

Cooper: And there are, of course, many important downballot races we can report on now. We can already make several projections: We can project that in Connecticut, Senator Chris Murphy will be easily reelected, as will Senator Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts and Senator Roger Wicker in Mississippi. In Delaware, Democrat Lisa Blunt Rochester will be elected, defeating Republican Greg Lavelle for the seat of retiring Senator Tom Carper, while in Maryland her former U.S. Rep. John Sarbanes will be elected for the seat of another retirng Democrat, Ben Cardin. We can also already call the Senate race in New Jersey, where Democratic U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill will defeat the unpopular Republican former Governor Chris Chtistie. We cannot call the Senate race in Maine between U.S. Rep. Jared Golden, the Democrat, and former Rep. Bruce Poliquin, the Republican, though Golden is considered strongly favoured. The Senate race in Michigan, between Democratic U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin and Republican State Senator Ruth Johnson, is also too close to call, as is the race in Missouri between former Senator Jim Talent, the Republican, and former State Treasurer Clint Zweifel, the Democrat. There are other seats we cannot call right now- namely, the Senate race in Pennsylvania between Democratic incumbent Bob Casey Jr. and U.S. Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, the Texas race between Republican Senator Ted Cruz and Democrat Colin Allred, and the Tennessee race between Democratic Mayor David Briley and Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Green, where Republicans are considered strongly favoured to take a seat held by retiring Democrat Phil Bredesen.

Bash: There are also some gubernatorial projections we can make right now. Former Attorney General Matthew Den, a Democrat, will be elected Delaware Governor against high-progile challenger Ken Simpler. We cannot right now call the gubernatorial races in Missouri, where incumbent Jason Kander is facing Republican Ann Wagner in a tight race, and in New Hampshire, where Republican former Attorney General Gordon MacDonald is giving Governor Stefany Shaheen a tough race.

Tapper: Thank you. Right now, let's go to two of our CNN analysts to give us their impressions right now. Mr. Santorum, you start.

Santorum: Well, I think it's looking likely now that supporters of Vice President Pence are having a great night. We're going to win Florida, we're going to win Indiana, and I'm pretty confident in our victory in Georgia, Ohio and North Carolina too. That'll seal the deal. We'll sweep the swing states. And in congress, we're finally starting to topple this tyranny of Democrats. I'm feeling really good right now.

McAuliffe: Rick is speaking confidently, but I'm not really buying all that. Sure, it's not certain right now, but I believe we're going to have a good night for Pete. Florida is still a pure tossup, Indiana is looking really bad for Republicans, even if they win it, and we're doing really well across both the sunbelt and the rust belt. But of course Rick will keep his eyes closed until all these states are finally called for us, and even then he'll claim fraud.

Clint Zweifel is already a Senator in this TL.

I changed it. Nicole Galloway is elected in 2022, Zweifel is the candidate in 2024. She's a stronger candidate.

Josh

"So, Josh, how do you think it's looking?" RNC Chairwoman Mercedes Schlapp asked him, trying to talk over the noise in the stage outside, where Greg Abbott was speaking to the crowd.

"I'm not sure," he said. "Right now, it looks like it could go anywhere." For the past hour or so, the numbers have been running in, making everyone be on the edge of their seats. There were some bright spots for them- contrary to Indiana, it looked like it wouldn't take too long to call Missouri for them, and indeed, a few minutes ago it was already called. And in Florida, their numbers were constantly climbing as the panhandle reported, though Josh didn't know if it would be enough. But other parts were troubling- he was worried about the relatively stable Demcoratic leads in North Carolina, Michigan, Texas and Pennsylvania, Georgia was growing closer than he was comfortable with, and Kansas was being stubbornly close. When they called Arkansas for Pence at the 8:30 AM poll closing the stadium was filled with cheers, but it's not like anybody expected it to go otherwise.

"Well, what's for sure, he isn't looking all too happy." Mercedes beckoned at Greg Pence, who was standing close to them and staring at the TV with a troubled look.

"Yeah, he might very well lose." Josh frowned. "Turnout in Indiana's cities and suburbs is through the roof, Pete really delivered for his Lieutenant Governor. I'm actually a bit worried about us..."

"Oh, don't be ridiculous!" Alabama Senator Mo Brooks, standing with them, interrupted him. "No way Mike loses Indiana, it's his state and the conservative, real Americans there will deliver! If Greg loses, well, it's just because he's not as good as his brother. That's just how it is."

"Don't get cocky, Mo," Josh cautioned, a bit annoyed. He was feeling tense that night, knowing his future is on the line, and the Alabama Senator's calmness irked him. "Pete is really popular there, and these suburbs have beem trending D."

Suddenly, the Fox News key projection alert played. "Folks," Chris Wallace said, "we're ready to make an important projection right now. We can call the state of Virginia for Pete Buttigieg right now! Virginia has gone to the Democratic nominee, definitely an early call."

"Cr*p," Josh cursed loudly. "I mean, I know we'd lose, but look at this massive landslide! This state is gone for us, and if this goes on, possible the entire election!"

"Oh, calm down, Josh." Mo Brooks laughed. "Don't you have any faith? With His blessing and grace, Mike Pence will be elected President tonight! No matter what these libtards, these fake Americans in the cities and the suburbs do!"

Josh sighed. "Look, Mo, if we lose tonight, and no matter what you say, it's looking like a real possibility, if we lose tonight it's not you who won't get to become Vice President and whose policial career will be in tatters because he'll lose a f**king Senate seat. So shut up, ok?!"

Before Mo, who grew red in anger for a moment, could reply, a Fox News anchor interrupted him. "And after a large vote dump from the panhandle, we can now report that the Pence\Hawley ticket has taken the lead in Florida! A good sign for the Vice Presidnet..."

ELECTION NIGHT, Part V


Cooper: We're now very close to 9 AM, and reaching the decisive stages of the night. But first, we can make another projection- Vice President Pence will win Mississippi, an expected result though a relief for Republicans after a prolonged time we couldn't call the state. This call joins our calls of Arkansas and Missouri for Pence and Virginia for Buttigieg in the past hour.

Knowles: And now, at the 9 AM poll closings, we can make several projectios: we can call Louisiana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and its 1st and 3rd congressional districts for Mike Pence and Josh Hawley, while we're also ready to call New York for Pete Buttigieg and Anthony Foxx. At the same time, we cannot project a winner in the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado and Arizona, while New Mexico is too early to call with the Democrats leading strongly. Harry, some updates on the states we're currently watching?

Enten: Yeah, let's get right off the bat to our usual thriller- Florida. Mike Pence is currently holding a narrow lead, but as you can see on our holographic map, these solid Republican states in the north are almost maxed out- 90%, 92%, 95%, 98%, 99%, 100% here. Meanwhile, we have 72% reporting from Miami Dade, 74% from Broward, 85% from Palm Beach, 90% from Orange... so it's still very much competitive, Democrats have room to grow. In Georgia, meanwhile, we're still waiting for results from Atlanta, but as its suburbs report we can see Democrats continuing to climb. In Indiana, we're starting to get more results from Indianopolis and Buttigieg has closed some of the gap, so whatever happens, it'll be close. So we still need to wait for more results from these states, as well as states like North Carolina and Ohio.

Tapper: And like always, let's look at these downballot races now. In the past hour, we've been able to call the West Virginia Senate race for Republican Roger Hanshaw, meaning Democrat Richard Ojeda and his party will lose this seat. Now, we can make two new calls: in Tennessee, Republicans gain yet another seat as Representative Mark Green beats Democratic Mayor David Briley for the retiring Phil Bredesen's seat, while in Virginia Democrats are able to retain the seat, with U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger handily defeating former U.S. Rep. Scott Taylor for the retiring Tim Kaine's seat. But as of poll closing, we can...

Knowles: Hang on, Jake, there's another Senate race we're able to call right now- Democrat Jared Golden will defeat Republican Bruce Poliquin yet again, a nominal gain for Democrats even though the retiring independent Angus King is caucusing with them.

Bash: Definitely some relief for the Democrats as they manage to hold on in some of these crucial seats, despite losing the obvious ones in Tennessee and West Virginia. And now, at poll closing, we can make several new projections: in Minnesota, Democratic Senator Amy Klobucher will easily win reelection over former Representative Erik Paulsen, an important win for her party, while her fellow Senator Martin Heinrich will win reelection in New Mexico, defeating former Lieutenant Governor John Sanchez, the Republican, easily. In New York, former Democratic Presidential nominee Kirsten Gillibrand will also win an easy reelection, and in Wyoming Republican John Barrasso also wins reelection. And in Nebraska, Republican U.S. Rep. Adrian Smith will win the Senate election, succeeding the retiring Senator Deb Fischer. And on the gubernatorial front, we're now able to call the North Dakota gubernatorial election for State Representative Rick Becker, a liberty Republican.

Tapper: But there are other races which are, right now, too close to call: the Arizona race between Senator Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat and former Presidential contender, and former Governor Doug Ducey, a popular Republican politician in the state, the North Dakota election between incumbent Democrat Heidi Heitkamp and Republican former Governor Doug Burgum and the Wisconsin election between Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin and Republican former Governor Scott Walker, by now considered by some a perenniel candidate.

ELECTION NIGHT, Part VI


Knowles: It's 9:30 AM right now, and CNN is ready to make two new projections: in New Mexico, Pete Buttigieg will win a devisive victory over Vice President Pence. And in the state of Maine, we can also project that the Democratic ticket will claim the state's two at-large delegates, with only the 2nd congressional district too close to call. Definitely an important victory for the Buttigieg campaign, and possibly a worrying sign for Republicans, who hoped to make a play in the state.

Maine Presidential Election (55% Reporting)- DEMOCRATIC WIN

Vice President Mike Pence (R-IN)- 41.5%

Governor Pete Buttigieg (D-IN)- 54.5% ✓
Vice President Mike Pence (R-IN)- 35.8%
Governor Phil Scott (I-VT)- 5.8%

.........

Cooper: We've almost reached the 10 AM hour, so all you folks at home waiting for new projections should get ready. But first, we can make another projection- we're calling the state of Kansas for Mike Pence and Josh Hawley, a closer-than-expected victory for the Republicans and a late call, but a relief for them nonetheless. It seems like the turnout in the urban and suburban areas here exceeded expectations and these voters trended further to the Democrats.

Tapper: Right, and as of the 10 AM poll closings, we can make another projection: we're calling the state of Idaho for the Republican ticket. Not a surprise. At the same time, Iowa, Nevada and Utah are too close to project, while Montana is too early to call.

Enten: And something else worth mentioning right now- thanks to batches of votes from Broward and Miami-Dade, Pete Buttigieg has, again, taken the lead in Florida, a big disappointment for Republicans. It's a narrow lead, but with most conservative areas having already reported, we're thinking that we'll soon be able to make a projection. And not only that- Buttigieg is at the lead in Georgia as Atlanta is beginning to report at earnest, and it's looking like that state might vote to the left of Florida tonight. Indiana, meanwhile, is down to the last few prescints, and it's as tight as it gets- Pence is holding a lead, but a very slight one.

Bash: And as always, we have some updates on our downballot races. First and foremost, a major projection, though expected- Democrats will keep their control of the House of Representatives, though they will likely lose a few seats. Speaker Ben Ray Luján will likely return for another term. Democrats also rejoice as Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio beats back his challenger, Representative Troy Balderson, and will win another term in the Senate. And in Wisconsin, we're projecting that Senator Tammy Baldwin will defeat former Governor Walker by a landslide, humiliating the once rising star. But at the same time, a big disappointment for Democrats- we can call that in Missouri, former Republican Senator Jim Talent will return to the Senate, keeping the seat in Republican hands. Additionally, in Indiana, Democrats will lose another seat as former Governor Eric Holcomb unseats Democratic incumbent Joe Donnelly. It's a loss of a very pro-Buttigieg politician that must disappoint many in the Buttigieg campaign HQs.

Cooper: And as of poll closing in our new states, in the Senate, we can project that former Representative John Curtis, a Republican, will win the Utah seat vacated by the retiring Mitt Romney. We cannot at this time project the Montana Senate race between incumbent Democrat Jon Tester and his Republican challenger, former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, or the Nevada election between Senator Jacky Rosen, a Democrat, and former Lieutenant Governor Mark Hutchinson, a Republican.

Knowles: In the governorships, we can call the Utah race for incumbent Governor Matthew S. Holland, a Republican. But... hold on, we have a major projection to make! In Indiana, Lieutenant Governor Linda Lawson will win the gubernatorail election, defeating U.S. Rep. Greg Pence, the Republican nominee's brother. Pence's campaign was criticized for toxic nagativity, at one point criticizing Lawson's term as the first female Captain in the Hammond Police Department as "uselss", specifiaclly citing her work in the sex crimes and domestic violence divisions. He was also attacked for his part in the now infamous Homophobia Tapes that dogged Mike Pence's campaign, and incumbent Pete Buttigieg's popularity in the state further helped his right-hand woman, giving her a comfortable victory here tonight. Definitely a blow for the Vice President. And I'm being told there's another call we're able to make right now- in Vermont, Democrats gain the gubernatorial mansion as Kiah Morris wins the elction, becoming the state's first African American Governor and its second female Governor, making history.

Well, this is 3/4 gains that Republicans can have while Democrats retain a filibuster proof Senate supermajority.

Phil

Phil Scott never thought that he would be elected President.

Sure, he fought as hard as he could and if it somehow were to happen, he wouldn't complain. He was definitely ready and qualified, and personally, he thought that he could do a better job than either of his rivals, especially Mike, who'd continue the Trump disaster. So it's not like he was disappointed- he wished he could've done better, maybe even get into the debates, but in the end, he made his mark and showed everyone that there was support in America for moderate, solutions-oriented politicians.

The Vermont Governor looked right, where Spencer Cox was standing, staring at a live feed of the Utah results in his phone. They were head-to-head with Pence, and winning it was personal for him. Spencer didn't lose anything either- he was still safely reelected to his House seat, running both for reelection and for Vice President, and Phil knew that he had a bright future ahead. He was probably going to run for Governor in four years, or maybe for one of the Senate seats once Mike Lee or John Curtis retire. He was a good young man, principled and competent.

Suddenly, Anderson Cooper's voice interrupted his thoughts and he looked at one of the TV screens. "We're ready to make two consecutive- and major- projections right now. In the state of Colorado, we can call the Presidential race for Pete Buttigieg, the Democrat takes this left-trending state. And we're also calling Minnesota for Buttigieg, an important win for Democrats in a state Republicans tried, to no avail, to target in the past few years. Buttigieg will win both by decisive margins, certainly a disappointment for Vice President Pence that brings his Democratic challenger to 140 electoral votes, more than halfway to the required 270..."

Phil smiled. Sure, he was a Republican, but he would rather see Pete, who was a honourable and bright young man, as President rather than that extremist Mike. And it looked increasingly like this was the case.

"Governor Scott," one of his aides approached him, "the crowd is ready for you to address them. Hogan has nearly finished the speech introducing you."

"Good," Phil said. "I'm going to thank them all for supporting me, and concede this race. And I'm going to wish the best luck to the next President and signal my willingness to help him with whatever I can- who knows, maybe I'm not done yet."

ELECTION NIGHT, Part VII


Tapper: So we've just heard Governor Phil Scott's concession speech, he definitely ran an interesting campaign that made an impact on the election. Our exit polls show most of the voters he took wouldn't vote or would vote for another third party, followed by voters who'd support Mike Pence and finally voters who'd support Pete Buttigieg. So the Pence campaign would probably prefer Scott didn't run.

Cooper: But hold on, we have a very important projection to make right now! In the state of Georgia, we can call the Presidential race for Democrat Pete Buttigieg, as we determined that there's just not enough vote out from non-Atlanta areas to take Pence over the line. In fact, it looks like Buttigieg's victory will be quite comfortable in the end. This is a major victory and a very good sign for the Democrats, their first win in the state on a coalition of black, urban and suburban voters that swung hard towards them in recent years.

Knowles: We can make another call right now- just moments after Georgia was called for the Democrats, we're calling the state of New Hampshire for Pete Buttigieg! And another projection we're able to make, Democrats will win the 2nd congressional district in Nebraska, a suburban area.

Enten: There are two other states we're watching very closely at this moment- Florida and Indiana. In the Sunshine State, Buttigieg is holding a narrow lead that is slowly but surely increasing. Still a few votes left in the rural, conservative counties but soon these votes will be depleted too, and we might be able to make a call. And in Indiana, a very special situation- a batch of votes, which we're told are absentee ballots, comnbined with votes reporting from Saint Joseph County, the South Bend seat that swung hard for Buttigieg, and from Indianopolis' Marion County to give Pete Buttigieg a first lead in the night in the state. Only a few prescints left to report, but Buttigieg is leading narrowly right now! Watch for a projection in these states soon.

Georgia Presidential Election (97% Reporting)- DEMOCRATIC WIN
Governor Pete Buttigieg (D-IN)- 46.7% ✓
Vice President Mike Pence (R-IN)- 43.4%
Governor Phil Scott (I-VT)- 6.2%

Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District Presidential Election (62% Reporting)- DEMOCRATIC WIN
Governor Pete Buttigieg (D-IN)- 47.8% ✓
Vice President Mike Pence (R-IN)- 41.5%
Governor Phil Scott (I-VT)- 9.3%

New Hampshire Presidential Election (93% Reporting)- DEMOCRATIC WIN
Governor Pete Buttigieg (D-IN)- 48.5% ✓
Vice President Mike Pence (R-IN)- 40.8%
Governor Phil Scott (I-VT)- 8.2%

.........

Knowles: Stand by and hold everything, as we have a very important projection to make! In the state of Florida, we're projecting that the winner will be Democratic nominee Pete Buttigieg! A very important win that brings the Democrat to 192 electoral votes. A very big win that Democrats are confident will mean they win the Presidency.

Enten: Indeed, heavy turnout in Demcoratic areas and increased support amongst Florida Hispanics gave Democrats a narrow edge here despite skyhigh turnout in the panhandle, too. If we give Buttigieg the Democratic states of Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii, he win the Presidency, which means this is basically guaranteed right now. It's only a matter of time now...

Bash: I'm gonna have to interrupt you, Harry, because there are three more projections we're now able to make after receiving some important vote batches! In the state of Indiana, home to both major party nominees, Democrat Pete Buttigieg will win a historic victory, defying all expectations! Definitely a major triumph for him. In Pennsylvania, it's another very important call as Pete Buttigieg secures a strong victory, outrunning Pence with landslide margins in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and their suburbs, as well as better-than-usual margins in the rural areas. And wait up, there's more- in the state of North Carolina, we can project that Buttigieg will also win, quite a comfortable victory in a state that eluded Democrats ever since they won there in 2008. Pete Buttigieg is at 238 electoral votes, and it's not even 10 PM yet.

Cooper: And in the downballot department, we also had a few major calls in the past half a hour, so let's give you a summary- we've called the North Dakota Senate race for Republican Doug Burgum, unseating incumbent Democrat Heidi Heitkamp as increasing polarization takes its toll on the moderate Senator and Democrats lose yet another seat. Meanwhile, we've also called the Senate race in Pennsylvania for incumbent Democrat Bob Casey Jr., turning back a strong challenge by Republican Guy Reschenthaler with a fair margin. Democrats are on the defence in the Senate this year, and so far they're doing decently even if they're losing seats.

Bash: And right now, there are two new calls we can make- Michigan's Senate race concludes with a comfortable victory for Democrat Elissa Slotkin, who will defeat Republican Ruth Johnson to succeed the retiring Debbie Stabenow, a hold for Democrats. Finally, in Florida, Democrats lose a high profile race to succeed retiring Senator Bill Nelson, and with that lose another seat to a net of -4, -5 if you consider that the retiring Independent Angus King of Maine was already caucusing with them. Republican Representative Brian Mast defeats Democratic Lieutenant Governor Chris King, whose campaign was considered fairly weak and dogged by anti-Jewish statements he made in the past. So at the moment, Democrats are standing at 59 Senate seats if all incumbent parties win reelection. What could give them a filibuster-proof majority, though, is a victory in Texas, unseating Ted Cruz, and retaining Kyrsten Sinema's seat in Arizona, both of which are right now too close to call.

Tapper: There are also calls we've been able to make in the gubernatorial elections. In North Carolina, we've called the race for Democrat Janet Cowell, retaining it for Democrats after Governor Roy Cooper was term-limited. But there is another call we can make as of now- in New Hampshire, Democrats surprisingly lose the gubernatorial seat, with Republican Gordon MacDonald defeating Governor Stefany Shaheen. He ran on a law-and-order, tough on opioid platform and managed to win enough support for change, after Shaheen couldn't beat back the increasingly serious problem. The voters of New Hampshire choose anti-incumbency tonight.
