All eyes are on the prize of the White House tonight.
But the House and Senate are up for grabs as well.
Now polls are closing across the nation. And the latest breaking news will leave jaws on the floor.
What a day it’s been so far . . . and what we’re keeping an eye on
First off, thanks for joining the Renewed Right team as we recap the day’s events and the latest on key races across the country, and of course, the race for the White House.
Pennsylvania turnout appears high on Election Day and irregularities in at least one county, Cambria, are keeping their polls open until at least 10pm, meaning it may be a while before races there are called.
MORE TIME: A judge in the key swing state ordered voting to be extended until 10 p.m. ET after a “malfunction” prevented voters in Cambria County from scanning their ballots. https://t.co/srkyS6k0qq pic.twitter.com/7WSX2TIGMt

Most recently, a judge ruled that Luzerne County, PA, polls will also remain open until 9:30pm.
A Pennsylvania judge just issued an order giving voters in Luzerne County an extra 90 minutes to vote.
The Courts are not letting corrupt election officials disenfranchise any voters with long lines and/or broken voting machines.

Sources inside the Trump campaign told Charles Gasparino to keep an eye on New Hampshire as a bellwether for the nation.
BREAKING FROM THE TRUMP CAMP: A major sign of a possible Trump victory will be winning New Hampshire or making it exceedingly close. Polls have been tightening, the campaign says. Story developing

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris tied in the tiny community of Dixville Notch on Election Day 3 to 3, which while not the results the Trump campaign was referring to, is still interesting to note.
The tiny town of Dixville Notch, New Hampshire has a tradition of midnight voting.

AP exit polls found voters nationally and in swing states strongly viewed the Economy and Immigration as their top issues, which should favor Trump in those key states.

Economy: 43%

Polls are closing!
7:06PM – Fox News has called Indiana and Kentucky for Donald Trump.
7:08PM – Fox News has called Vermont for Kamala Harris.
No surprises yet, but we’ll see if things move quickly this year.
More states will close at 8pm ET – if you’re in line to vote, stay in line until your ballot is cast!
Minutes after polls closed in Florida, Donald Trump was out to a strong lead. Why can’t more states be like the Free State of Florida?

We’re keeping an eye on Virginia’s Senate race between Tim Kaine and Hung Cao, as an upset for Democrats there could indicate a landslide election for Republicans nationally.
Turning to the Senate, where Democrats have almost no room for error.
The Fox News Decision Desk can project that Indiana Republican congressman Jim Banks will win his first Senate race.
In Virginia, it’s too early to call the race between incumbent Democratic senator Tim Kaine…

7:30pm – Fox News calls West Virginia for Donald Trump. Again, no surprises there. And West Virginia’s Jim Justice wins the Senate race, flipping Joe Manchin’s old seat for the GOP.
But talk about surprises, these exit polling numbers in Georgia look absolutely devastating for Kamala Harris if the results track.
BREAKING: CNN's Georgia Exit Poll reveals that Trump is winning the independent vote by 11 points. In 2020, Joe Biden "won" independents by 9 points
Independents make up 31% of voters, so this is game over for Kamala in Georgia.
ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS! pic.twitter.com/E7Hufkbg4n

7:56pm – Fox News calls South Carolina for Donald Trump.
8PM ET as more polls close and lots more races are called
Reminder, there are two counties in Pennsylvania where voting will continue after 8pm – Luzerne County until 9:30 and Cambria County until 10pm – that said, if you’re in line, stay in line until your ballot is cast!
Fox News quickly called Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida for Donald Trump.
Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhodes Island, Maine District 1, and Washington, D.C. for Kamala Harris.
That brings the totals to 105 Electoral Votes for Trump and 72 for Kamala so far in the hunt for 270.
Still no surprises statewide, though deep dives into the numbers could indicate where Georgia is headed.
At 8:30, Fox News called Arkansas, a state that hasn’t voted Democrat since its native son Bill Clinton was at the top of the ticket.
The real interesting numbers are coming out of Virginia right now. Media pundits hadn’t expected it to be a swing state this cycle, but Karl Rove reportedly said the Trump campaign thinks it has a chance there, in addition to New Hampshire, and New Mexico.

9PM ET as polls close in 15 more states and lots more races are called
Wyoming, Texas, South Dakota, Nebraska Districts 1, 3, and At-Large, North Dakota, Louisiana, and Kansas were all called for Trump by Fox News.
Delaware, New York, and Colorado were called for Kamala Harris by Fox News.
The latest round of states called brings our totals to 178 Electoral College votes for Donald Trump to 113 Electoral College votes for Kamala Harris in the race for 270.
9:15PM – Fox News called Ohio for Donald Trump with 195 Electoral College votes.
GREAT TAKE – If states are laboratories for democracy, Florida showed the country how it’s done, counting all votes within 45 minutes of polls closing. As Clay Travis argues, there’s no reason this can’t be the standard across the country for 2028.
Every state should copy Florida’s vote counting policies. Took 45 minutes after polls closed to take the result! Every. Single. One. No excuses. Has to happen by 2028. We can’t keep having election weeks.

BREAKING: Texas Senate Update
Fox News projects Ted Cruz defeated Democrat Colin Allred to return for his third term in the U.S. Senate. Democrats spent heavily to defeat Cruz, who notably wasn’t supported by Mitch McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund after being a thorn in McConnell’s side for his first two terms.
9:35pm – Fox News calls New Hampshire for Kamala Harris, bringing her total to 117 Electoral College votes.
Former Donald Trump Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney chimes in with a data observation that could give Trump-world a reason to celebrate earlier than expected this evening, if it holds . . .
No one seems to have picked up on this yet…but Harris is underperforming statewide Dems in NC, VA and OH.
The margin is roughly 2% across the board.
If that holds, it could be a shorter night that we expected.

10PM ET and here’s where things stand
Don’t sleep on Virginia.
An unexpected swing state has emerged in the race for the White House.
Nobody saw this coming.
But just three hours after the polls closed and Donald Trump could be on the verge of an Electoral College landslide.
Prediction markets began shifting HEAVILY toward Trump in the last 20 minutes.

Even The New York Times, hardly a bastion of conservative, right-wing extremism, has Donald Trump at 75% odds to win the Electoral College. But not only that, they’ve now got him winning the popular vote by .3%!

Meanwhile, the Kamala campaign reportedly circulated a campaign memo telling their staff to finish up their work, get some sleep, and prepare to get back to it tomorrow morning while votes are still being counted and races quickly called for Donald Trump.
Grim look inside the Harris campaign:
MEMO: "We’ll continue to keep you all updated as we get more information. This is what we’ve been built for, so let’s finish up what we have in front of us tonight, get some sleep, and get ready to close out strong tomorrow."
