US midterm election results: Too close to call in key states

From the Fox News Decision Desk:

Georgia, GA, Senate race too close to call. GA is a historically slow-counting state.

GOP senators who are projected to win re-election: Scott of SC, Paul of KY & Young of IN. Dem VT Rep Peter Welch succeeds Pat Leahy as Senator. Leahy has served since '75.

Polls just closed in Ohio, OH, & North Carolina, NC.

The Fox News Decision Desk says GOPer JD Vance has a slight lead over Dem OH Rep Tim Ryan. But, again, the race is too close to call.

CNN reports that Republican Gov. Mike DeWine will win reelection in Ohio and defeat Democrat Nan Whaley.

Also too close to call NC senate race between GOP NC Rep Budd & Dem Cheri Beasley.

Updates

Democrat Jerrold Nadler has won re-election for his New York House seat, AP says.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of America’s most conservative members of Congress, won re-election in her northwest Georgia district.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has won re-election. Kim Reynolds, Iowa’s governor, has also won re-election. Both are Republicans.

Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican, to win the 13th Congressional district In Florida, flipping the district, according to the Edison Research projection.

Meanwhile, Republicans have gained a net three US House seats previously held by Democrats, with 371 of 435 races still undecided.

Marco Rubio wins re-election. Ron DeSantis wins. Katie Britt wins the Alabama Senate race, Rand Paul wins the Kentucky Senate race and Markwayne Mullin and James Lankford wins the Senate races in Oklahoma.

The sentiment for the outcomes is US dollar bearish. A Republican win would cut down on fiscal spending that could exacerbate already-high inflation and lead the Fed to raise interest rates even higher than expected, analysts at Morgan Stanley wrote earlier this week. This potentially would be buoying the stock market's most recent rebound while supporting Treasury prices and helping curb the burgeoning US Dollar.
