ABC News projects that Republicans will gain control of the Senate in the 119th Congress, set to begin on Jan. 3, 2025. ABC News has projected Republican pickups in Ohio and West Virginia, which puts the GOP at 51 seats, and Republicans currently hold narrow leads in Michigan, Montana, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Nevada also looks very close, so the GOP could in theory secure as many as 56 seats based on the way results look right now.

ABC News projects that Republican Sen. Deb Fischer will defeat independent Dan Osborn to win reelection. Osborn put up a surprisingly strong performance for a non-Republican in the Cornhusker State, even running close to Fischer in our polling average. But Fischer avoided defeat, aided surely by her state's red lean. With around three-fourths of the expected vote reporting, she leads by about 5 points, 52.6% to 47.4%. If you look at the map below, you'll see that Osborn carried the major counties of Douglas (Omaha) and Lancaster (Lincoln), as well as a smattering of other places in the state, but it was not enough to topple Fischer.

Since our last update, the results of a few more ballot measures related to abortion have been projected. In Nevada, ABC News has projected that Question 6, which would enshrine the right to an abortion in the state's Constitution will pass. ABC News also projects that the pro-abortion rights ballot measures will pass in Colorado and Arizona.

Meanwhile abortion rights measures are leading in Missouri and Montana, and trailing in South Dakota and Nebraska (where there are dueling measures).

Washington state has on its ballot a measure to repeal the cap on carbon emissions. With lots of votes still to be counted, the "no" side is up 62% to 38% on Initiative 2117.

Sources close to the Harris campaign told ABC News that her team is getting more nervous, but still they believe they can clinch the blue wall and the Nebraska blue dot.

In the meantime, the mood at Howard University has dampened over the last couple of hours. The night started out with music pumping and crowds dancing. Now, there's a giant screen playing CNN and the crowds are muted, with many glued to the screen.

The crowd cheers anytime races are called for Harris and boos whenever states are called for Trump.

Several Howard University attendees told ABC News the results are making them nervous, but they're still cautiously optimistic.

But one Democratic operative just told ABC News, "I am horrified it is close and going to bed."

A Democratic operative in Wisconsin told ABC News the situation is anxiety-inducing but would still "rather be us than Trump." This person says it could be a "late night again. Right now we have Trump holding a red mirage lead before the absentee ballots."

The source's view is that they won't see absentee ballots until later tonight, and they're already beating Biden's numbers in Waukesha County, arguing that the state-wide strategy is paying off: "holding the line in rural areas and accelerating in urban areas. It's the kind of margin you generate through massive door-knocking campaign."

This operative said, "Blue wall has been core strategy all along and it still is."
