Polls begin to close out West: Polls are now closed in more than half the country. Here’s an hour-by-hour guide to poll closings.
Former President Donald Trump has secured a decisive victory in the Nevada Republican caucus, winning by a significant margin. The only other contender listed on the ballot was Ryan Binkley, a pastor and businessman.
As a result of this win, Trump is set to claim all 26 delegates from Nevada, as per the party’s system for selecting its presidential nominee. Initial tallies reported by CNN indicated that the former president garnered over 98% of the total votes.
Speaking briefly at a victory celebration in Las Vegas, Donald Trump remarked, “If we win this state, we easily win the election in November.”
With victories in three states – Nevada, Iowa, and New Hampshire – Donald Trump has solidified his position as the presumptive Republican nominee for the upcoming general election in November. Additionally, he emerged triumphant in a Republican caucus held in the US Virgin Islands, an unincorporated territory.
Nikki Haley, the only remaining significant challenger in the race, opted out of participating in the Nevada caucus and instead focused on the state’s primary vote.
A dispute between the state Republican Party and the Democratic-controlled state legislature led to the holding of two separate ballots in Nevada.
Republican Senator Ron Johnson will defeat Democratic Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin Senate race.
Georgia’s Warnock-Walker Senate race headed to a runoff, secretary of state’s office confirms.
The Senate race between incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker will head to a run-off in December. With a third-party candidate on the ballot in this week’s election, neither candidate secured the 50% of the votes needed for a winner to be declared.
It’s been two days since the US midterm elections polls closed, and the results still remain unclear, with control of Congress still hanging in the balance.
Control of the Senate will be determined by two wins two of three states: Arizona, Nevada and Georgia, where a run-off election will be held on 6 December.
The Republicans are getting closer to a 218-seat majority in the House of Representatives.
But the victory is set to be a much thinner margin than what was originally predicted.
President Biden said the results have been a “good day for America.”
The delays in announcing the final result were expected due to the thin margins between candidates, possible recounts and potentially contest elections.
How and when mail-in ballots are counted differs by state.
As of Friday morning, here is where we stand:
The House is leaning towards the Republicans, according to US media projections.
The GOP have secured 211 seats compared to 193 for the Democrats. A total of 218 seats are needed to gain a majority in the House, which has 435 members.
Control of the Senate remains a toss-up, with the Democrats having secured 48 seats to the Republicans’ 49.
The three key races are – Arizona, Nevada and Georgia – winning two of the three would secure the win.
CBS has projected that Arizona is leaning Democrat, while Nevada could go either party.
Alaska – where three candidates were on the ballot in a ranked-choice voting system – has not been called, although CBS has projected it will remain Republican, with two Republicans – incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski and challenger Kelly Tshibaka – in the lead.
In Georgia, the Senate race between incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker will head to a run-off in December. With a third-party candidate on the ballot in this week’s election, neither candidate secured the 50% of the votes needed for a winner to be declared.
In Arizona, there are still hundreds of thousands of ballots to be counted – including an estimated 400,000 in Maricopa County and approximately 159,000 in Pima County. The final count is unlikely until early next week.
In addition to the Senate race between Dem. Mark Kelly and Rep. Blake Masters, the state is also hosting a high-profile race for governor between Dem. Katie Hobbs and Rep. Kari Lake.
Nevada – Votes are still being counted, where nearly 60,000 still need to be processed.

Before Tuesday’s midterms kicked off, the polls and political experts expected a Republican red wave. Many, from all sides of politics, expected the GOP to sweep the board and wipe out Democrats.
Whilst the GOP is still on course to win control of the House of Representatives – it looks set to be a thinner margin than expected and predicted.
And the race for the Senate comes down to three key states – two days on from the election and it’s still too close to call.
But why did the ‘red wave’ fail to come about?
