How Election Week 2022 Went Down

Kansas Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly is leading in her race, with 61 percent to Republican Derek Schmidt’s 38 percent. Twenty-six percent of the expected vote has been counted.

As Zoha just mentioned, the Gen-Z progressive Democrat Maxwell Frost is projected to win the race in Florida’s 10th District. Rep. Demings abandoned that seat to challenge Rubio for Senate. Running quality candidates in open seats is a strategy that the progressive wing of the party has pursued since 2018, and it’s helping them grow their influence in Congress.

ABC News has projected a number of races for Republicans in Oklahoma. Republican Rep. Markwayne Mullin is projected to win the open Senate seat in the Sooner State to serve out the final four years of Sen. Jim Inhofe’s term. Sen. James Lankford is projected to win reelection for his seat. Likewise, incumbent Rep. Frank Lucas is projected to win his seat in Oklahoma’s 3rd District, as is former state senator Josh Brecheen in the 2nd District. The race for governor is still tight, though. Right now, Democrat Joy Hofmeister is leading Republican incumbent Gov. Kevin Stitt, 50 percent to 48 percent, but it’s still early.
