How Election Week 2022 Went Down

ABC News projects that Democrat Gretchen Whitmer will win the governor race in Michigan.

ABC News has projected Republican Derrick Van Orden to win the House race for Wisconsin’s 3rd District, beating Democrat Brad Pfaff. Van Orden was in D.C. on Jan. 6 and attended the rally that preceded the attack on the U.S. Capitol (though he says he stood on the sidelines and left when the rally became “a mob”).

That’s a big win for Democrats in the Wisconsin gubernatorial race. Because it looks like Republicans failed to win a supermajority in the legislature, the state will remain under divided government, which means Republicans won’t be able to do things like pass an abortion ban or gut the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission.
