As races remain tight across the country, GOP candidates slogged state by state in a determined fight to break the Democrats’ one-party hold on Washington.
But elsewhere, Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger prevailed over Trump-backed Yesli Vega in a suburban Virginia district Republicans hoped to flip. And Democrats held House seats in Rhode Island, Ohio, Kansas and New Hampshire that Republicans wanted, and they flipped some including a suburban Illinois district from Republicans.
“I’m going to do this the right way, and the right thing to do is to say the other guy won, to wish him well and pledge my support, and that’s what I’m doing,” Maloney said in a press conference Wednesday shortly before The Associated Press called the race. In the evenly split Senate, the battleground was focused on the deeply contested states of Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Wisconsin. In Pennsylvania, Democrat John Fetterman flipped a Republican-controlled Senate seat that’s key to the party’s hopes of maintaining control of the chamber. The 50-50 Senate is now in Democratic hands because Vice President Kamala Harris can cast a tie-breaking vote.
Trump endorsed hundreds of candidates nationwide in this election cycle, though they were not always the first choices of McCarthy and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. In an interview, the former president said he backed McCarthy for speaker, and he derided his old foe McConnell as a “lousy leader,” according to Fox News Channel.
In the House, several new Republicans were elected in redrawn Florida districts. Joining them will be 25-year-old Democrat Maxwell Alejandro Frost, the first member of Generation Z to win a seat in Congress. One of Trump’s biggest backers in the Senate, Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, defeated Democrat Mandela Barnes, turning back Barnes’ attempt to make history as Wisconsin’s first Black senator.
