Be worthy of the trust, voters of utah have given me. Thank you for giving me a resounding victory. It will not let you down. The people of texas went to do and will do the great work of this country. All the money in the world was no match for the good people of texas and hardworking men and women across the state. What a night it has been. Live shot from fox sq. Americas election headquarters all night long, wednesday, november 7th at this is fox and friends first, the day after. Happening at 4 00 am, fox news alert. Donald trump praising the tremendous success of his very first Midterm Election is republicans keep control of the senate picking up at least four seeds in missouri, florida, indiana and north dakota. In the house as many expected the democrats have retaken control leaving the power split in washington. Breaking out the biggest upsets, hardest losses on both sides of the aisle, all kinds of stuff to talk about. We begin with Griff Jenkins in florida, the most nailbiting outcomes of the entire election. Always in the middle of it. Last nights National Elections were a referendum on donald trump you wouldnt have known it in florida, the two closely watched races in favor of the republicans starting with the race for the senate, rick scott coming from behind to unseat Democrat Bill nelson in a very, very close race, likely one of the most Expensive Senate races in history, now senator elect rick scott. Im going to dc to get something done. We can make change. We did it in the last two years in tallahassee and we can do it in dc. God bless our great country. Lets get to work. Reporter perhaps the most closely watched Gubernatorial Election congressman ron desantis coming from behind in recent days almost 3 points behind Andrew Gillam, the mayor of tallahassee trying to become the first africanamerican governor of the state, the first democrat governor since 1994, run desantis thanking donald trump for the bump. I would like to thank our president for standing by me, for standing by me when it wasnt necessarily the smart thing to do. Mister president , i look forward to working with you to advance floridas priorities. Reporter mayor gillam, a little bit of support here, says it is not over yet although he did lose. Take a listen. We will not be ignored, we will not be pushed aside, we will not be pushed into the shadows anymore. We are here to stay. Reporter as democrats take control of the house, one notes. Donna show layla, bill clintons former hhs secretary won her seat in the miami area and returning to washington. Reporter we will see what this means in terms of working together if any work at all will get done at this point. Lets head to texas. Gillam had hollywood support. Also in texas, ted cruz has won beating hollywood backed democrat be50 rourke. How all that went down. A lot of money in this race. For our folks out there we are live at the pancake house, all morning long talking to texas voters but as you mentioned, big win statewide for republicans in texas, 70 million in hollywood and outofstate was not enough to bring beto orourke to the finish line. Fox news called the race for ted cruz. Ultimately he won by 3 points. I will note much less then the 13 points the greg everett won reelection by but after a tough fight, ted cruz and his supporters were very happy last night. Texas saw something this year that we have never seen before. This election wasnt about me and wasnt about beto orourke. It was a battle of ideas, a contest for who we are and what we believe. It was a contest. The people of texas decided this race. We travel every part of the state from east texas to west texas, from the panhandle to the valley. And the energy, the excitement we saw was incredible. Reporter he went on to say texas is still texas, low taxes, low regulation, lots of jobs, securing the border, keeping communities safe and defending the constitution are things texans care about. Ted cruz will be joining new colleagues in the senate, mike brian, marsha blackburn, josh holly in missouri, kevin kramer in north dakota, Martha Mcnally from arizona and Matt Rosendale in montello, the trend of the senate going to republicans continuing in texas. His opponent beto orourke ultimately conceded. I was inspired, hopeful as i have ever been in my life and tonights loss does nothing to diminish the way i feel about texas or this country. Reporter that was orourke in the house. Democrats had a good night nationally and in texas, 32, representative pizzas and lost to call in allread. I will note, a republican and cia veteran in a tight race won in texas 23 so texas following the national trend, good in the senate tough in the house ultimately. Reporter you mentioned all that money, 70 million in the last quarter alone. You were also saying he ran on abolishing ice, beto orourke ran on medicare for all and that didnt play in texas. Some folks live down the street, they said hi yesterday. Democrats socalled blue wave appeared to come crashing down as donald trump delivers key swing states securing the senate for republicans. Garrett tenney live in washington dc with the races taking some surprising terms. Reporter across the board a lot of races still too close to call including the race for governor in wisconsin with nearly all precincts reporting, Democrat Tony Evers leading republican scott walker by just over one point. Evers is declaring victory but Walkers Campaign isnt conceding quite yet, waiting for military ballots to be counted to see if they can request a recount. Another closely watched Gubernatorial Race in georgia, brian kemp narrowly beat democrat stacy abrams by two points in a heated race, the first africanamerican governor in history, celebrity like oprah and barack obama campaigning in the races closing days. I built this campaign on one promise that as governor i would put hard work first. We are waiting on the final vote but i am confident victory is near. Folks are opening the dreams of voters and absentee ballots and we believe our chance for a stronger georgia is within reach. We cannot see this until all voices are heard. Another close race, andy barr held onto his seat, john james, it veteran africanamerican strong support from the president performed better than many expected but came up short to unseat democrat debbie stabenow. A tight race in the senate ended up being a 9 point when for marsha blackburn. Indiana one of the tightest races leading up to election day and it was a top target for donald trump and his Campaign Stops over the last week helped republican mike braun by 9 points ahead of joe donnelly. We as conservatives being led by donald trump have got to prove why our way of thinking, what works in indiana is going to work for the rest of america. I end this in a way i have been filled up so much more by you, you have given me so much and im so grateful to all of you. A number of votes still coming in from races across the country, keeping an eye on it and we will keep you updated throughout the morning and the next few days.

Ron meyer, you were with us yesterday. Are you surprised what happened today . Im not that surprised. I thought republicans would pick up one in the senate and keep it the same. The polls are wrong in the senate, right in the house. Looks like republicans pick up at least 3 seats in the senate, these are in states the president has been popular with, he made lastminute stop there and some are narrow victories and some quite big. The combat incumbent senator donnelly was beach in indiana. Indiana is a state president obama won. Florida is a state president obama won. We are seeing significant pickups and those are not insignificant. Heather lets bring the graphics up. This is the Senate Balance of power and you see where it stands. Republicans picked up four at this point. We are waiting in arizona and montana. I dont think that is coming back. In arizona make sally is looking strong. That would be a republican hold. Montana rosendale will defeat incumbent senator tester there. On november 27th, neither the democrat or republican got 50 . People like congressman dave brad and scott taylor and many conservatives in the nation losing in the house. It was not good and if you look at the suburbs they are trending the other way in many places on the east coast and west coast, trump states are getting more supportive of the president and republicans but in the suburbs the message republicans put forward didnt work. Republicans heather lets bring up the house while you are talking about it, 219, democrats, 119 republicans, republicans at a 26 seats. Just republicans did okay in the senate, republicans do have to do some soulsearching. I heard the president say look at his tone, the understatement of the year. If the president wants to win in 2020 and republicans want to future in this country we have to look at how to communicate to suburban women and young people and those democrats republicans got crushed. Lets talk about key house races democrats did flip, florida 26, florida 27 as well as another one, the new york, 19. In all three of those, talking about suburban areas, running on good local issues and on immigration doesnt necessarily work in these types of places, there was the closing message for republicans, wasnt on the economy or transportation. You dont run a local issues that resonate. There are pick ups the president can be happy with, if republicans dont learn their lesson, if you look where the country is growing that is where it happens in cities and suburbs and if we dont figure out how to win. That will allow the president to control judicial nominations. That is the positive coming out for republicans, the Supreme Court confirming justices and easier to confirm justices. It is an opportunity for the country to Work Together. If nancy pelosi is serious and democrats are serious about unity lets and infrastructure bill, lets see a budget bill that can reduce the deficit and invest where we need to, lets see the country Work Together. We have done it before. If you look what happened under president clinton and president reagan both parties worked together. Lets hope that can happen. Heather talking about impeachment and the russia collusion investigation, that might not happen. Thanks for joining us, appreciate it, 19 after the top of the hour. The garden state stays blue, bob menendez holding out against bob hugin in a hardfought battle to the end in new jersey. [ phone rings ] what . ready for christmas .

Robert menendez securing a third term in the u. S. Senate. Menendez sending off bob hugin and corruption charges to win reelection. It was closer throughout which is a surprising democratic new jersey but in the end close 1 million more registered democrats in the garden state helped swing the race to menendez. My opponents spend 41 million of his fortune trying to convince voters that this election was about me. What he failed to understand and you knew all along, that this election was really always about all of you. Reporter disappointed hugin conceding the race overnight. I am proud of what we have done, proud of all of you, had my selfrespect the day before the campaign started and i have my selfrespect today and i will never stop fighting for you issues we all care about so thank you so much. Reporter in his concession speech hugin talked about two counties the cost in the election, ethics and hunting the two very blue counties. I can tell you with an intense get out the vote effort in urban areas in those counties. It was a tough road but in the end he did lose. We are talking to voters in lebanon, the Spinning Wheel diner about the results and what they think of the great state of new jersey and the national picture. Bitter battle between bosses. Say that 5 times at this hour. Reporter i was proud to write that this morning, my number one a compass when. A new record for women in congress. Female lawmakers on capitol hill now at 113 and that is not all. Carly shimkus with serious xm 115 on one of the most diverse elections ever.

He said on twitter thank you, colorado as i will serve the colorado way of life in my heart and on my mind at all times, the future starts now. There is a very diverse slate of candidates but a lot of diverse city is reflected in those who won. Heather someone else who stirred up controversy, alexandria ocasiocortez. Reporter no surprise she has won, 29 years old making her the youngest female elected to congress. She has promised a lot of things, made a lot of promises. She talked about medicare for all earlier this week and said people will easily be able to pay for it. Watch. People often say how will you pay for it . I find the question so puzzling because how do you pay for something that is more affordable . How do you pay for cheaper rent . We are paying more now. Reporter a lot of people dont think that will happen. Heather hold close in one minute, thankful for every person who contributed and worked to establish this movement, never forget the hard work it took to get us here. No matter what happens this is what it takes. Joe says what i find puzzling is her political knowledge. I find the fact that she will be in the house of representatives puzzling. There have been some the steps she has made. She is very young. That is probably not a big surprise. Once it came out after she talked about this talking about how this would increase government healthcare by 32. 6 trillion over ten years. How do you pay for that . The time is 30 minutes until the top of the art republicans picking up big wins, a key race too close to call. Live election coverage up next.

Team coverage for you, we have been following this all night long and we begin with anita vogel with upset on both sides, great to have you with us. Reporter good to be with you. Quite a few victories for republicans. To help bolster their majority in the senate. But look at key races where the president endorsed and spent time campaigning for all the winning candidates. Lets start in north dakota where republican representative kevin kramer ousted incumbent democratic senator Heidi Heitkamp a decisive victory, 9 point advantage, kramer with 55. 2 of the vote and heitkamp with 44. 8 . We made the decision to run for the senate and never once looked back. It is impossible for me to express the depth of my gratitude. Reporter next to utah where mitt romney easily defeated the democratic candidate, Salt Lake County councilwoman jenny wilson. Romney had double the number of votes with 62. 4 to wilkinss 31. 5 . In his victory speech he called for civility regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race or place of birth.
