In Ohio, Democrat Amy Acton defeated Republican Vivek Ramaswamy to win the governor's race. Democrats also secured control of the Senate, reaching the 51-seat majority mark after victories in several Republican-leaning states, according to the Associated Press.
The latest results add to earlier Democratic gains in the midterms. The party's Senate victory gives it control of the upper chamber, while the projected House flip would put both chambers of Congress in Democratic hands when the new Congress convenes on January 3, 2027.
