How Election Week 2022 Went Down

While my money is still on Republicans to win the House, it could come down to just a few seats, which means we could be waiting days for a formal projection. In that case, we’ll be watching slow-counting states like California to tell us who won. So let’s get a head start on that now, shall we?

With 30 percent of the estimated vote in, Democratic Rep. Josh Harder is currently leading Republican Tom Patti 61 percent to 39 percent in the 9th District.
With 38 percent of the estimated vote in, Democrat Adam Gray is leading Republican John Duarte 51 percent to 49 percent in the 13th District.
With 26 percent of the estimated vote in, Republican Rep. David Valadao (who, notably, voted to impeach Trump) is winning 52 percent to 48 percent in the 22nd District.
With 33 percent of the estimated vote in, Republican Rep. Mike Garcia is winning 52 percent to 48 percent in the 27th District.
With 44 percent of the estimated vote in, Republican Rep. Michelle Steel is winning 53 percent to 47 percent in the 45th District.
With 45 percent of the estimated vote in, Democratic Rep. Katie Porter is winning 56 percent to 44 percent in the 47th District.
With 45 percent of the estimated vote in, Democratic Rep. Mike Levin is winning 56 percent to 44 percent in the 49th District.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s COO has essentially said what we are all thinking, which is that Georgia’s Senate race is headed for a runoff.

While county officials are still doing the detailed work on counting the votes, we feel it is safe to say there will be a runoff for the US Senate here in Georgia slated for December 6. #gapol pic.twitter.com/uwMF2EoDzO

At this late hour, I’m still watching a few uncalled races.

In Michigan, Democrat Hillary Scholten leads Republican John Gibbs 54-43 in the 3rd District, which is a top Democratic pickup opportunity. But in the 7th District, incumbent Democrat Elissa Slotkin trails Republican Tom Barrett, 50-48 percent. In the 8th District, Democrat Dan Kildee has 50 percent to Republican Paul Junge’s 46 percent, and in the 10th District, Republican John James leads Democrat Carl Marlinga, 53-45 percent, in a top GOP pickup opportunity.
In Washington, Democrat Marie Glusenkamp Perez is leading GOP opponent Joe Kent, 53-47 percent, in the 3rd District, with just about 60 percent of the vote counted. And in the 8th District, Democratic incumbent Kim Schrier leads Republican Matt Larkin, 53-47 percent, also with just under 60 percent of the vote counted.
