the democrats will win 215 of them, however, because as a projection, and it s physical, and because they are still a lot of votes that haven t been counted, we are plus or minus ten seats on this thing. ten states! which still means that at this, our almost 4 am in the east, we don t know who is going to control the house of representatives. we do not know who s going to control the united states senate. all right, let s take a look at just a couple of key house races that i want to show you across the country, that are of interest, let s go to virginia, seven district of virginia s right here and 99% of the votes that we call this in the incumbent spanberger, this was especially title. the republicans had hoped to pick up in control of congress, close race, abaco spanberger with a difference of about ten and a half dozen votes, getting 51.8% of the vote.
county these two counties, reno and clark, they represent the vast majority of the state here. again, cortez masto getting in percent of that early mail-in vote. in the governor s race, you can see sisolak, again, not quite as much here. the significant of this race here, for the significance of the control of the senate, we have had one change of party control in the senate tonight, that is pennsylvania. d plus one, so just looking at the senate control matt right now, or member, we came into the night 50/50. and 50/50 is good enough for democrats to control the senate with kamala harris breaking the tie. , so what is left for republicans at this point? at this point what that means is, not only do they need to find a win in the democratic seat to offset the gain that the democrats made in pennsylvania. they need a second win somewhere else to get to 51 and get control of the senate. so, where could they get it? let s just go through them
all right, we may not find out the final configuration of the senate until december because, as steve was just explaining, the georgia senate race, if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote in georgia, that race will go to a runoff between the top two candidates. and that races still too close to call but a runoff between democratic senator raphael warnock and his republican challenger herschel walker is looking possible at the moment. the other big race in georgia tonight, the gubernatorial race, republican incumbent brian kemp once again beating stacey abrams. let s go live to alison barber and blaine alexander are standing by. alison, and this late in the night, you are at the herschel walker campaign. tell us a bit about what you are seeing. and how they are feeling as these results roll in. hey, ayman.
getting more information from arizona every hour. we have 55% of the vote in now. and the deniers are not winning right now, which is incredible. they have run powerful campaigns. i will give it to them. it is actually, i think, more fun to be an election denier and an election denier liar than a reasonable human. because it s more fun. you can say more interesting things. at the moment, mark kelly s lead in that race is substantial. steve kornacki was saying, the republicans need to gains now at the beginning of the night they only needed one game. but they only needed one seat. we are not sure what is going to happen in georgia. that could be a democratic loss if raphael warnock does not win it in the runoff. so, their hopes are pinned now with the remarkable herschel walker as a candidate. they did not get it in pennsylvania, with john
as you said, we have not called this race. but the chief operating officer for georgia secretary of state just tweeted, while county officials are still doing the detailed work on counting the votes, we feel it is safe to say there will be a runoff for the u.s. senate here in georgia slated for december 6th. and that is a tweet from gabe sterling. as for the candidates, the mood, both walker and warnock delivered similar messages to supporters tonight, saying this is going to be a very long night. but we feel good. the secretary of state s office here, they say there is still about 33,000 early votes outstanding that have not yet been counted in columbia county. that is a county that donald trump won back in 2020 with 62% of the vote. biden had 36% there. walker s campaign, having conversations with them they are pointing to that county, those outstanding ballots, as a positive sign for their candidate. when i last spoke to them, they were confident, adamant, that they think they can
