performing as the democrats hope tonight above 55%. this district will tell you two things. number one, it s a must-win for the democrats, jennifer wexton must win to get for the democrats to get to 23. number two, this is a key test of how bad is it for donald trump in the suburbs, how bad is it for president trump in the suburbs and if you re looking at a race right there, that tells you the democrats feel very strong about that. another pick-up opportunity, this one gets some national attention because remember, dave brat was a giant killer back in the tea party election, he knocked off a key member of the house republican leadership, perhaps a future speaker of the house. many republicans thought dave brat knocked him off. this is a very close race in a highly competitive district. so this one, if you re the democrats, this, you have to win. you should win. it s a golden opportunity, the 10th district. jennifer wexton. this is much more competitive race here. richmond suburbs ver
as we continue to watch the votes. just want to check once more on that. the republicans still ahead there. again, the 6:00 hour, the warm-up, primetime starts any second. we re ready. we re only seconds away from the first major round of poll closings, control of the u.s. congress, the future of the trump presidency, all of that trump presidency, all of that and a lot more on the line. captions by vitac www.vitac.com we have a senate projection right now. cnn projects that bernie sanders, the independent senator from vermont, the incumbent, he will be reelected. he caucuses with the democrats. in virginia, tim kaine, the incumbent democrat, cnn projects he will get another six years in office. in indiana, too early to call, joe donnelley facing mike braun, a very, very tough fight going on in indiana right now. let s take a look at the balance of power, see where things stand right now. in the u.s. senate, remember, 25 democrats, they will be in the senate. 42 republicans in t
maybe more republican seats on their path. they need 23 net. let s look, again, results coming in early. let s look down here at the 15th congressional district. the republican, ross, the democratic, carlson, ahead. this would be a flip. the democrat ahead 51-48. when you don t see the percentage down here, that generally means there s a problem with the system or it s the early vote. so if it s just early vote in, we don t have live voting coming in but you have a democrat ahead there. that s one. pull back out to the map. emphasis on leading. leading. these are not called races. but there are ten democrats leading and five republicans leading. two of these democrats are leading in republican-held districts so you tap that and take a look. the other one is here. this was not on our list of target races and again, we re looking at the early vote here but the democrat is ahead here over the republican incumbent, dunn. why do you keep an eye on this race? just in case. remember, the demo
he was wrong. we re going to see which technique works best with this swing electorate, with trump supporters, saying you ll stand up top him and also be with him when you agree with him or just clinging to him as de santis did. john, let s take a closer look at florida right now. results are beginning to come in. key battles under way. and again, 3% reporting in florida. watching the map fill in. republicans generally do well out here in the western part of the state. orlando, the suburbs below them, key to democrats. you ll see right here, pop it up. 59%, 60% there. i want to go back in time to look how this one played in the governor s race last time. if you go back to 2014 and you look at the same county, charlie chris won the county. that was a very close race. watching here, we re very early in the count here but andrew gillum running near 60%, that would be good for him. if you ve watched the polling in florida at the end of this
majority. we re looking at florida right now. all of a sudden, the numbers are coming in, the votes are coming in. they are, wolf. and we ve seen some frantic tweets from the senate republican marco rubio, begging republicans to go out and vote and look at the numbers, this tells you why. the democratic incumbent, bill nelson, is ahead, 51.4%. rick scott, the republican challenger, is trailing at 48.6% with a third of the vote in now. so we re watching florida incredibly closely right now. the democrat is doing pretty well considering how tight of a race we thought this was going to be. indiana, another just like florida, the story is that this is a republican turf where there is an incumbent democrat, mike braun, the republican challenger is ahead still, of joe donnelley. the incumbent democrat. we re going to keep watching this very closely. it s taking some time for the votes to come in there in
