GOP stares down horrific midterms night as Democrats flip two critical Senate seats: Live updates

GOP stares down horrific midterms night as Democrats flip two critical Senate seats: Live updates

Donald Trump was staring down an election-night nightmare on Tuesday as Democrats surged toward taking control of the House of Representatives in a crushing blow that threatened to cripple the final two years of his presidency. 

Republicans were bracing for a feared blowout as the Democrats also claimed the first major Senate battleground of the night, with former North Carolina governor Roy Cooper snatching a crucial seat from GOP hands.

The victory turned the Tar Heel state blue and delivered another ominous warning to Trump as his party fights to stave off a devastating midterm defeat.

In yet another GOP upset, Democrat Senate candidate Annie Andrews won the US Senate election in South Carolina, beating out Darline Graham, the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. 

In the Senate, Democrats must flip four Republican-held seats to gain control. In the House, they need to pick up just three seats.

Americans turned out in droves to make their voices heard on a slew of issues, including the cost of living and the war in Iran, while chaos erupted in several key battleground states.

The first polls closed at 6pm ET and the last polls wrap up at 1am ET. Then the nation will wait as ballots are counted across the country to find out whether Republicans or Democrats will take power.

The voters have spoken, and I want to extend my congratulations to James Talarico on his election to the U.S. Senate. I look forward to meeting him and offering my assistance with his transition as he prepares to serve Texans in the U.S. Senate.

Trump excuses midterm bloodbath with: 'I wasn't on the ballot'

Donald Trump has broken his silence on the midterm bloodbath that has placed the Democratic Party on track to control both chambers of Congress.

'I wasn't on the ballot,' the president wrote on Truth Social. 'And if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE!'

Breaking:Democrats retake House majority in major blow to Trump

Democrats are poised to retake control of the House of Representatives, delivering a devastating blow to Trump that could mark the beginning of the end of the MAGA era.

CNN and CNBC projected a Democratic House majority. The fate of the Senate, currently held by Republicans, remained unclear as results came in.

Trump, while not on the ballot, had told voters in a flurry of multi-state campaign rallies to 'pretend' as though he was.

He declared in a Truth Social post after the House flipped blue:

I wasn't on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

The midterms were seen as a stunning referendum on Republicans as they suffered crushing losses, striking a dagger into the heart of the White House.

Breaking:Vivek Ramaswamy loses Ohio governor's race after controversial ad torpedoes struggling campaign

The Associated Press projected that Vivek Ramaswamy lost his bid for Ohio governor to Democrat Amy Acton.

Acton won 50.7 percent compared to Ramaswamy's 46 percent with 85 percent of the vote counted.

Two weeks before Election Day, Ramaswamy's campaign released a spot starring Acton's estranged mother, Donna Arthur, calling her daughter a liar and suggesting she was mentally ill.

The ad did not mention that Arthur lost custody of Acton in 1978, after her stepfather was charged with raping the 12-year-old.

Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn congratulates Democrat James Talarico before race is officially called

Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn congratulated Democrat James Talarico for winning the Texas Senate race - before the election was even called.

Cornyn lost in a runoff primary to GOP nominee Attorney General Ken Paxton, who had picked up the endorsement of President Donald Trump.

Talarico was running 18 points ahead of Paxton when Cornyn dashed off his tweet - but no major network has called the race.

Democrat El-Sayed remains out of sight as aides say he will only emerge once a verdict is clear

More than five hours into Abdul El-Sayed's watch party, the packed venue shows little sign of emptying out.

'Let's show them Detroit Muslims know how to party!' one supporter shouted, clinking glasses with his friend.

As major networks project a Democratic takeover of the House, the crowd erupted into celebration, watching the first ripples of a blue wave wash across the country.

El-Sayed himself remains out of sight, with aides telling reporters he will only emerge once a verdict is clear - 'at any hour.'

Meanwhile, all eyes remain glued to the television screens, tuned to MS Now, as El-Sayed holds a steady lead over his opponent, Mike Rogers.

Over at the bar, drinks flow freely despite the venue prices.

One attendee, Teddy, tells the Daily Mail he has no plans of leaving early. 'If he gains a point, I drink. If he loses, I drink,' he laughed.

Senator Susan Collins's watch party has emptied out

Senator Susan Collins's watch party had thinned out by 10pm, two hours after she first delivered remarks and the polls closed.

The incumbent is running for her sixth term against Democratic challenger Troy Jackson and spoke briefly at 8pm, thanking the crowd and noting the results were too early to call. After her remarks, she disappeared to a side room.

Around 9.45pm, Collins re-emerged to shake hands, take pictures and thank her supporters.

Those who remained gripped their drinks nervously as they watched Fox News and waited for results to trickle in.

Many others had migrated to the hotel's bar just outside the conference room, where they continued following the results.

Outside, a light drizzle seemed to mirror the subdued mood inside.
