NPR's Life Kit has even more tips for dealing with a stressful news cycle and protecting yourself from election disinformation. Pennsylvania's acting secretary of state says midterm results will be available "within a few days." Rubio, who has held the seat since 2011, was the favorite ahead of the election, in a state that has become more Republican-leaning in recent years.
Meanwhile: McCarthy says he did not punch Rep. Burchett
This Arizona race is one of the toss-up battles that could determine control of the Senate next year. The Senate is currently split with both parties looking to gain greater margins for the next year. In the first of three planned media briefings, a senior official from the Department of Homeland Security's cyber agency, CISA, told reporters there is still no credible or specific threat to disrupt the U.S. election infrastructure. Abbott says that this year's ballot is one of the longest he’s ever seen, mainly due to the multiple judges and two constitutional amendments before voters in Kansas this year.
Democratic Governor Tony Evers wins reelection in Wisconsin
House Republicans were not involved in negotiating the spending package and conservatives blasted the 18 Senate Republicans who had supported it. "It’s going to make America safer, it’s gonna make the world safer, and it continues America’s leadership in the world, and everyone knows gives vital support to America’s partners," Biden said Wednesday in remarks praising the package's passage. "And so they can defend themselves against threats to their sovereignty." Critics of the popular social media app argue that ByteDance, which is based in China, could collect user data and censor content that is critical of the Chinese government. In March, Avril Haines, the director of national intelligence, warned in a House intelligence committee hearing that China could use TikTok to influence the US’s 2024 presidential elections.
Speaker Johnson will need Democratic support for two-step funding bill
Fifteen Republicans and three Democrats voted against the legislation. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a longtime hawk who voted against the foreign aid package in February because it wasn’t paired with legislation to stem migration at the border, was one of the Republicans who switched their votes. “If we don’t help Ukraine now, this war will spread, and Americans who are not involved will be involved,” Graham said.
As Night 1 ends, control of Congress remains at stake for Democrats
Luria, a veteran naval officer, was elected to the House of Representatives as part of a Democratic wave in 2018. In the past year, she has risen in prominence as a member of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria has lost her bid for re-election in Virginia’s 2nd congressional district to Republican State Sen. Jen Kiggans. Murray was still a favorite in the state, which Biden won by 20 points, but faced a serious challenge in Republican Tiffany Smiley, a veterans advocate. In his concession speech, Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, said he had "the privilege to concede this race" to his Republican opponent for the Senate, J.D. Vance.
"Everyone's concerned, they should be concerned about inflation, because it's real. Inflation is real," he said. "So we got to make sure we get through this the best we can, and put no more burden on them." The West Virginia Democrat said that he wants to see the final numbers from the Congressional Budget Office and changes made to the bill.
Maricopa County says 20% of polling places are having ‘an issue with the tabulator’
Hochul was thrust into campaigning soon after taking office, and polls showed the race against Long Island's Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., tightening late. Mills also repeatedly highlighted LePage’s long history of false statements and combative conduct that led some to compare him to former President Donald Trump. Her approach sometimes put her at odds with progressive activists, but likely appealed to independent voters, a large and influential part of the Maine electorate. Roesener's win comes five years after Danica Roem became the first openly transgender person elected to and seated in a U.S. state legislature, when she won a seat in Virginia's House of Delegates. She praised him for "shattering a lavender ceiling and proving that America is ready for trans men leaders in our state legislatures," in what she called a win for New Hampshire and for trans people everywhere. “It criminalizes and reduces access to everyone, for those who utilize contraception, those who need hormone replacement therapy — that is not just transgender people — and those whose well-being relies on medications deemed abortifacients,” he said.
“Tonight, a bipartisan majority in the Senate joined the House to answer history’s call at this critical inflection point,” Biden said. The Senate is expected to vote on the bill next week and Joe Biden has said he will sign the legislation. A recent report from the Center for Election Innovation & Research found that most U.S. states are offering options to vote early in person or by mail to all voters this year.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott elected to a third term
The legislation includes $60 billion for Kyiv; $26 billion for Israel and humanitarian aid for civilians in conflict zones, including Gaza; and $8 billion for the Indo-Pacific region. It would direct the president to seek repayment from the Ukrainian government of $10 billion in economic assistance, a concept supported by former President Donald J. Trump, who had pushed for any aid to Kyiv to be in the form of a loan. But it also would allow the president to forgive those loans starting in 2026.
In Colorado, voters will decide whether to legalize magic mushrooms and other psychedelic plants. Arkansas, Maryland, Missouri, North Dakota and South Dakota are all weighing whether to legalize recreational marijuana. If all of them pass that measure, they would bring the total number of states where recreational cannabis is legal up to 24 (plus another 12 where its use has been decriminalized). Blake Masters, the Republican candidate running for Senate in Arizona, also addressed the problem. Maricopa County is the largest county within the state, both in population and size, and it's been a top site for unfounded claims of election fraud during the 2020 election. Election officials in Maricopa County, Ariz., say they have fixed a technical problem with some of the ballot tabulator machines across the area.
More Republicans — 93 — voted against this CR than opposed the last clean funding bill in September. “Against all odds, House Republicans refocused spending on America’s most crucial needs, at home and abroad,” House Appropriations Chair Kay Granger, R-Texas, said before the vote. Whether or not we can avoid a government shutdown solely depends on a small number of Senate Republicans, and whether they will drag this out through the weekend,” Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., said on MSNBC. Majority Whip James Clyburn said he thinks the act, combined with the infrastructure package and the American Rescue Plan Act, will address issues that the Covid-19 pandemic has exposed in the US. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other top House Democrats spoke to reporters after voting to pass President Biden's sweeping spending bill. Senior Whip Debbie Dingell, a Democrat from Michigan, expressed confidence that the sweeping $1.9 trillion spending bill will be passed in Congress before Christmas.
Abortion rights supporters are hoping for a repeat of voters' rejection of a similar measure in Kansas — and even hired the same campaign manager who led the opposition efforts there. Reports of Tuesday's technical issue quickly became the subject of misleading posts by Republican leaders on social media, including former President Trump. Tune in for breaking news updates, election analysis on key races and on-the-ground reporting from NPR's political team and member station reporters across the country. They cited technical issues that impacted voting machines — but, election officials say, were fixed within hours and did not put the ballot count at risk.
