Midterm election results updates: Dems keep control of Senate with Nevada win

Standing in front of the John Lewis mural in Atlanta, an energetic and confident Sen. Raphael Warnock kicked off his runoff campaign, arguing that it’s about “competence” and “character.”

"This is not a race about Democrat and Republican. It’s not a race of the right versus the left. Fundamentally, this is a race about right and wrong. Who's right for Georgia and who's clearly wrong for Georgia,” he said

Warnock, the Democratic incumbent, argued that Republican challenger Herschel Walker “has shown us that he's not capable” and “has no vision for our state or for our country.”

“We've been running now for a little while, and he has yet to tell us what he actually wants to do,” Warnock said.

Warnock and Walker were tied each with 49% of the vote as of Thursday morning, with 99% of the expected vote reporting. Their runoff election will take place on Dec. 6.

Warnock said, over the next four weeks, he will focus his attention on those who didn't vote for him.

"For those of you who made a different choice, this time, whether for Herschel Walker or someone else, I want to speak directly to you: Over the next four weeks, I hope you will give me the opportunity to earn your vote,” he said.

Warnock, who unseated Sen. Kelly Loeffler in a 2020 runoff, said, "We all knew this election would be close. But I've done this before -- we've done this before. We know how to win a runoff.”

Voters spoke decisively in every state where abortion was on the ballot, erring on the side of access and rejecting anti-abortion efforts.

A referendum in Montana, which differed most from the other four states that voted singularly on abortion, would have required medical treatment for infants born alive after an attempted abortion. It included a provision that would penalize medical providers for violation, carrying a $50K fine and/or up to 20 years behind bars. It was defeated by voters in a ruby red state.

Kentucky voters also voted down a proposition that aimed to prohibit adding the right to an abortion or the right to public abortion funding to the state constitution.

California, Michigan and Vermont voters all supported propositions that would guarantee abortion rights in each state's constitution.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who framed herself as the "last line of defense" for abortion rights during her successful reelection effort, credited her state's abortion proposition with enthusiasm at the polls that arguably helped her win.

"We know that people were very fired up at the prospect of losing a right that has been enshrined for 49 years and that drew a lot of people into this moment and we're grateful for it," Whitmer said Wednesday.

Michiganders also flipped the statehouse to Democrats, giving them full government control.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy expressed confidence that he has the votes for both the majority and the speakership in response to reporters' questions while leaving the Capitol Wednesday evening.

McCarthy said he has also spoken to President Joe Biden. The White House confirmed they spoke Wednesday evening, though it did not share any further details.

McCarthy spent the day behind closed doors, meeting with some of his allies and whip team. His aides and outside advisers could be seen working the phones all day.

A short time ago, GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was seen entering his office for a meeting. She did not answer any questions upon leaving.
