Talarico is the first Democrat to win the seat in nearly 40 years

Democratic Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley defeated Rep. Tom Tiffany after a campaign linking the Republican to Trump's tariffs and tax bill.

Darline Graham has lost the U.S. Senate seat long held by her brother in South Carolina.

Graham had been the Republican candidate for only a couple of months after winning a Republican primary runoff following a fast-tracked special election.

'For the Good of our Nation ... I hope Darline does this.'

Democrat Annie Andrews, a pediatrician from Kentucky, ran a tough race against Graham, where the two were neck and neck in polling to the end.

RealClearPolling showed Graham with a +2.7-point advantage just a couple of weeks out from the election. Meanwhile, Blaze News' Poll Watch has Graham at just +1.9 in the last days before midterms.

In the end, Andrews overcame the deficit and won the seat 50.6% to 47.2% with 93% of the votes counted, according to NBC News.

Graham was supported by President Donald Trump before she even decided to run for office, promising to endorse her if she did. Her brother won his primary in June with nearly 57% of the vote.

At the same time, Andrews defeated two Democratic primary competitors with 61.5% of the vote.

"During her visit, I asked Darline, for the Good of our Nation, to run for the U.S. Senate in the Special Republican Primary on Tuesday, August 11, 2026," Trump said at the time, per The Hill.

"I hope Darline does this, in that there would be nobody better to honor the legacy of her beloved brother, Lindsey," the president added.

In October, Trump and Graham appeared face-to-face at a rally in Pendleton, South Carolina, where he gave her his full support.

Andrews had previously run in South Carolina for the House of Representatives in 2022, but lost to Rep. Nancy Mace (R).

Andrews has called for the restoration of Roe v. Wade, the expansion of Medicaid and Medicare, and to keep "families together" and ensure "due process" in regard to immigration.

In a stunning upset, Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms defeated Republican billionaire Rick Jackson Tuesday to become the first black female governor in American history and Georgia's first Democrat governor since 1998.

Bottoms led Jackson 54.2% to 45.8% with about 85% of the expected vote counted, according to NBC News. Though Jackson ran toward the middle, his moderate disposition did nothing to stem the tide against Bottoms.

'I'm not running to be his favorite governor.'

The last Democrat to win was Roy Barnes, who secured the seat in 1998. Barnes lost his 2002 re-election bid to Sonny Perdue, Georgia's first Republican governor since Reconstruction ended. Republicans have held the office ever since — until now.

Jackson spent more than $200 million of his own fortune, according to AP. On the campaign trail, Jackson promised to govern like "Trump with a Southern tone" and become the president's "favorite governor."

Bottoms turned that line against him.

"I'm not running to be his favorite governor," Bottoms said during the candidates' only debate. "I'm running to work on behalf of people like you."

Bottoms has called for Medicaid expansion, an increase of the state minimum wage to $15 per hour, a pause on data center development, and an end to Flock camera expansion, according to AP.

She also wants to repeal Georgia's abortion ban, which made abortions after six weeks illegal. She called it "a life and death issue." It certainly is, though perhaps not in the way she intended.

Bottoms will succeed the term-limited Gov. Brian Kemp (R). She may not have a free hand once in office. Republicans are heavily favored to keep the state Senate, according to AP.
