What Went Down In The 2018 Midterms

In his address to the nation, President Trump actually listed several Republican incumbents who lost while running campaigns that didn’t “embrace” him, including Rep. Mike Coffman in the Colorado 6th and Rep. Barbara Comstock in the Virginia 10th. Of course, in most of those cases, a Trump acolyte probably would have done even worse than they did, since Trump is unpopular in their blue, suburban districts. But it’s another reminder that Trump is anything but a conventional politician.

With 88 percent of precincts reporting, Sen. Jon Tester currently holds a slim 0.3 percentage point lead in Montana, with 48.7 percent of the vote compared to 48.4 percent for his opponent Matt Rosendale. And according to POLITICO, a slim margin like this for Tester isn’t that unusual. He has won both of his previous contests without winning a majority of the vote.

President Trump addresses the nation on the results of the midterm elections, in which Republicans made gains in the Senate and Democrats won a majority in the House. Follow along with live ABC news coverage.
