Key Headlines
Cruz projected to win Texas' U.S. Senate race
ABC News projects that Cruz will win the U.S. Senate race in Texas. With roughly 74% of the expected vote in, the incumbent Republican leads his challenger -- Rep. Colin Allred -- by 10 percentage points, 54% to 44%.
Let's check in on GOP women running for House
As I mentioned earlier, there are not a lot of races where Republicans are in a good position to elect new women to Congress. Let's check in on a few non-incumbents, now.
In North Carolina's 1st District, Buckhout is trailing the incumbent, Rep. Davis, 46% to 51% with 73% of the expected vote reporting.
In Alabama's 2nd District, Dobson is trailing Figures 45% to 55% with 52% of the expected vote reporting.
In New York's 18th District, Esposito trails Ryan 42% to 58% with 71% of the expected vote reporting.
Other Republican women who are projected to win their races are mostly incumbents, with the exception of two: Biggs in South Carolina's 3rd, and Fedorchak in North Dakota's at-large district, who were nominated to run for safe Republican seats.
ABC News projects Trump will win Kansas
Another call expected call for Trump -- ABC News now projects that Trump has won the state of Kansas, which last gave its Electoral College votes to a Democrat in 1964, when Lyndon Johnson was on the ballot.
Donald Trump is projected to carry Iowa
ABC News is projecting that Trump will hold Iowa’s six electoral votes. The state became a topic of conversation over the last few days as the well-regarded pollster Selzer & Co. released a poll conducted on behalf of the Des Moines Register and Mediacom showing Harris ahead by 3 percentage points in the Hawkeye State, a surprising result for a state Trump won by 9 points in 2016 and 8 points in 2020. While Selzer has been known to publish outliers in the past that turned out to be more prescient than expected, it appears that this was not one of those times: Trump is ahead of Harris by 12 points in Iowa with 54% of the expected vote reporting.
