With votes still being counted, here are key takeaways so far from Tuesday's results, including notable race projections and voter choices.
Democrats' overperformance is best understood by the wins Republicans haven't seen across the board, as of early Wednesday, despite past midterm wave years -- like in 2010 and 2018 -- that saw the party in power lose dozens of House seats.
Republicans will gain six House seats so far, according to ABC News' projections, which will be enough to barely flip the House if they don't lose elsewhere, though there are competitive GOP-held seats in California still to be counted. The ongoing tally has upended the idea that Republicans would net roughly two dozen seats.instead is projected to flip the Senate seat held by retiring Republican Sen.
Republicans had launched an advertising onslaught in the final weeks of the midterms casting Democrats as weak on crime and public safety, a relentless campaign that strategists on both sides believed was effective.Republicans had boasted that they could enjoy a majority of at least 20 seats, overtaking Democrats' current five-seat majority.
Among the more prominent candidates who are projected to lose are Pennsylvania GOP gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, Pennsylvania Senate candidate Mehmet Oz and New Hampshire Senate candidate Don Bolduc. In Michigan, GOP secretary of state nominee Kristina Karamo is projected to lose to Democrat Jocelyn Benson. Karamo had claimed that Trump won the state in 2020 and unsuccessfully sued to invalidate mail-in voting in Detroit.
