Wisconsin’s major races are still too close to call as of 9:30 p.m., but national outlets are projecting Democrats will win the U.S. House of Representatives and are on their way to flipping the U.S. Senate.
In a sign of a mounting Democratic tsunami, Democrat Annie Andrews was projected to win the South Carolina Senate seat that opened up when Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham died earlier this year. President Donald Trump backed Graham’s sister Darline Graham. Democrats also flipped the Senate seat in North Carolina with former Gov. Roy Cooper winning the seat being vacated by Sen. Thom Tillis.
With about 60% of the vote counted in Wisconsin, Democrat David Crowley was leading Republican Tom Tiffany. Decision Desk HQ has called the race for Crowley, who is leading the vote count by nearly 10 points. Wisconsin Watch follows the Associated Press race calls.
Democrat Rebecca Cooke held a smaller lead over U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden in western Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District, and U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil was neck-and-neck with challenger Mitchell Berman in southeast Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District.
