US Midterm Results: Democrats Flip North Carolina Senate Seat, Hold Georgia and New Hampshire
In the House, Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz secured a third term in Florida’s 25th Congressional District, defeating Republican Scott Singer, a former Boca Raton mayor.
Democrats have flipped a Republican-held Senate seat in North Carolina and defended key seats in Georgia and New Hampshire, securing important victories as the battle for Congress unfolds.
Former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper defeated Republican Michael Whatley, according to the Associated Press, capturing the seat left open by retiring Republican Senator Thom Tillis. AP called the race at 8:23 p.m. Eastern.
The result gives Democrats a pickup toward the net gain of four seats they need to take control of the Senate. Whatley, a former Republican National Committee chairman, had President Donald Trump’s backing.
In Georgia, Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff won reelection against Republican Representative Mike Collins. Holding the seat in a state Trump carried in 2024 was central to Democrats’ hopes of building a Senate majority.
Democrats also retained New Hampshire’s open Senate seat, where Representative Chris Pappas defeated Republican former Senator John Sununu. Pappas will succeed retiring Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen. AP declared him the winner at 8:20 p.m. Eastern.
In Rhode Island, Democratic Senator Jack Reed defeated Republican Raymond McKay, securing a sixth term. Reed serves as the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
The Georgia, New Hampshire and Rhode Island victories preserve Democratic seats, while Cooper’s North Carolina win changes the partisan balance. Control of the chamber remains unresolved.
In the House, Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz secured a third term in Florida’s 25th Congressional District, defeating Republican Scott Singer, a former Boca Raton mayor. AP called the race at 8:07 p.m. Eastern.
