of the Senate still hangs in the balance. Amy Morris begins our team coverage from the Bloomberg newsroom in Washington. Democrats are keeping the balance of power in the House closer than anticipated. As for the Senate, it might be a while longer before the results are clear. We do know Democrat John Fetterman defeated Trump backed mem At Oz for the Senate seat from Pennsylvania with fifty percent of
the vote. Oz got forty seven point six percent. I never expected that we were going to turn these red counties blue, but we did what we needed to do. Georgia may be headed for a runoff. Democrat Raphael Warnock with a slight edge over Trump backed Herssel Walker forty nine point four percent to forty eight point six percent, and the count was delayed. In Arizona after tabulation machines
went down. Democrat Mark Kelly currently holds a lead over Republican Blake Masters fifty stye percent, and Nevada is expected to go uncalled until later in the week because of delays from counting mail in ballots. In Washington, I'm Amy Morris Bloomberg Daybreak. All right, Amy, thank you all. Taking a look at some other key Senate races. Trump back Republican j D. Vans defeated Democrat Tim Ryan for Ohio Senate.
He won with fifty three percent of the vote. New Hampshire Democrat Maggie Hasson be Republican Don Bulldock for that state's open Senate seat with fifty four percent of the vote. Colorado Democrat Michael Bennett got the vote to keep his Senate seat over Republican Joe o'della, and North Carolina Republican Ted Bud edged out Sherry Beasley with nearly fifty one percent of votes. Meantime, in Wisconsin, the race too close to call. Republican senator Ron Johnson leads to Democrat Mandela
Barnesty points six percent to forty nine percent. That's of the vote counted, and we have results from a handful of races for governor as well. Karen, Let's begin in New York, where Democrat Kathy Hokel has defeated Republican Lee Zelden. Bloomberg's Michael Barr continues our election team coverage live in New York. Michael, thank you very much. Nathan. Democrat Kathy Hokel has become the first woman elected New York governor, winning the office outright. Hokel took over in one when
former Governor Andrew Cuomo resigned. Hocle defeated Lee Zelden, who ran a campaign focused on fear of violent crime. She thanks the porters last night. I want to speak directly to New Yorker's tonight. You major voices heard loud and clear. Hokel got nearly fifty three percent of the vote. Zelden

And other races called by a p for the Senate, Chuck Schumer beat Republican challenger Joe Pinion fifty six percent in Connecticut, incumbent Democratic Governor Ed Lamont, the Republican challenger Robert Stevanos, U S Senator Richard Bloemhal won his re election over
Republican Leora Levy percent in New York.

Republican run de Santis in Florida and Democrat Gavin Newsom in California both handily won re election to Santa's feat Democratic challenger Charlie christ garnering sixty of the vote. In Florida, I believe the survival of the American experiment
requires a revival of true American principles. Florida has proved that it can be done, and that victory speech from De Santis did not mention Donald Trump or speculation that he'll run for president. In California, Newsom easily defeated his Republican challenger, Brian Dolly, with almost sixty of the vote. Overall, Careen, there were thirty six races for governor this year. Let's get more on those highlights now Live from Bloomberg's John Tucker,
Good Morning John, and Nathan. Democrats pulled out wins in some key states. In Michigan, Democrat Gretchen Whitmer defeating Republican Tudor Dixon with fifty three percent of the vote. Democrats John Shapiro wanting in Pennsylvania, beating Republican Doug Mastriano withcent of the vote. Wisconsin, incumbent democarrent governor Tony Evers got fifty one percent of the votes to win over Republican Tim Michaels. Colorado's Democratic governor Jared Poulis garnered fifty seven
percent of the vote to beat the Republican heideganal. In New Mexico, Democrat Michelle LeJean Grisham beat Republican Mark and Chetty with fifty two percent of the votes. Illinois g JV. Prisker defeated Trump back Republican Darren Bailey with fifty fo percent of the vote. In Georgia, Republican governor Brian Kent got fifty three percent of the vote to beat Democrats
Stacy Abrams. And finally, a key governor's race yet to be decided in Arizona, Democrat Katie Hobbs currently leads Trump back repl booking carry Lake fifty one point three percent to forty eight point seven percent. Just under sixty one percent of votes have been counted so far. Karen, Nathan, Sorry, John, thank you all. Overall, it was a historic night at the polls. More women than ever ran for governor, more Black women ran for Congress, and more LGBTQ people vied
for a spot in the House or Senate. As you mentioned before, Kathy Hoco became the first woman elected governor in New York and Massachusetts. Maria Healey will be the first woman elected to serve as that stays governor, and Democrat Westmore will be Maryland's first black governor. And Republicans Sarah Huckabee Sanders has become the first woman elected to serve as governor of Arkansas. Abortion rights around the ballot
in several states as well. Karen, California, Michigan, and Vermont all voted to enshrine the right to abortion in their constitutions. On the flip side, Kentucky and Montana have measures on the ballot to limit abortion access. Votes on those initiatives are still too close to call. Currently fifty two and a half percent of voters in Kentucky have said not to limit abortion access, with eighty six percent of the vote counted. The trend is similar in Montana. We're nearly
fifty three and voted not to live in abortions. Just votes are counted there. And in the interrance of transparency, we should note that Michael Larr Bloomberg, the majority owner of Bloomberg Radio parent Bloomberg LP, was a major donor to Democratic candidates and causes this election cycle. Straight ahead your latest local headlines plus a check of sports, and this is Bloomberg. Thanks gain Karen. It is six oh seven on Wall Street where forty degrees in Central Park.

Democrat Alexandria Ocassio Cortez has one another House term, easily beating her Republican opponent, Tina Forte with more than seventy of the vote.

Many votes are still being counted from Tuesday's mid term elections, but Republicans are still favorites
to take back the House. Speaking at an election night event in Washington, d C. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was very confident, thank you to everyone who voted Republican for the very first time. Democrat John Federman will be the next Senator from Pennsylvania, meeting as a Republican opponent. Dr memidaz Federment addressed supporters in Pittsburgh overnight, describing as

Global News twenty four hours a day on air and on Bloomberg Quicktake, powered by more than under journalist and analysts more than twenty countries. I'm Michael barn This is Bloomberg, Nathan. Thank you, Michael. It's six twenty on Wall Street Line from the Bloomberg
Interactive Broker Studios. This is Bloomberg Daybreak and for more post election analysis, We're joined live by Wendy Schiller, director of the Topman Center for American Politics and Policy at Brown University. Professor, It's always great to speak with you, particularly after an election day. And I think we heard from Republican Senator Lindsey Graham last night saying this doesn't look like a red wave to me. What does this
election look like to you? Professor? Good morning, Athan, Um, it looked people are gonna find a surprising, like a pretty normal mid term election, because in midchem elections, people take their anger frustration against the Party of the White House, where you know, owns the White House, and they go and they're mobilized a vote to sort of send a signal saying we don't like what you've done and we
want you to change. What's interesting here is so many races dependent on individual candidates and really were state specific. So you saw in places where governors did well as long as they lifted up the Senate candidate. I think you make that argument. In Pennsylvania with Fetterman and josh A. Piro ran for governor, you know, he kind of he won big, and I think that had to have helped betterment.
Even in our little state of Rhode Island, we had a governor that won by a much bigger margin than people expected, and the Democrat eked out of victory in the congressional district where he was expected to lose based on polling. So some really traditional electoral dynamics at play here,
party machines, organization, turnout um, and individual candidate quality. Uh So, given the inflation numbers and the perception that the economy is bad or that it will get bad, you know, that's something else we can talk about Um, you would have expected that problems do better. And in some cases it looks like either the individual candidate or the reputation for what the Republicans would do once they captured Congress
got in their way last night. Now, it's interesting that you framed this is a normal mid term election result, because I think we've talked before about the last few election cycles. You think about former President Donald Trump, former President Barack Obama two years into the their terms. Uh. Former President Obama at the time called the result against the Democrats then a shellacking. We didn't get that this time. No, but but think about that. You know, you're mentioning really
key points in political history for the United States. Plus, of course New Kingbridge is a big victory capturing the House in the Senate, but those are some those are big, big mid term election waves. And so this this, I mean, you would think that the Republicans should have done better. Uh. And they're probably gonna win the control of the House, but not by a lot. And we know that when majorities have narrow when parties have now majorities, it's tough
to govern and tough to get things done. Uh, and usually embolden some wing of the party left or right. So that's going to be tough roads from McCarthy. Uh. And so you look at it. But what I mean by normal, I mean the fundamentals of American politics and you know, the idea of democracy dying. Some people are very concerned about voting rights and turn out. Uh. And we saw that for the for the majority of election deniers at the highest level. We still to wait for Arizona.
You know, they were rejected by voters. So I think that's a really important thing and big turn out, right, and we are still waiting for a concession as well from Republican Lees Eldon, who was backed by former President Trump in New York. And you mentioned the race in Arizona as well. Do you have any lingering concerns that we could see a fight over election integrity in some of those closely watched races. Sure, I mean I think
where we won't see that is Georgia. There may be lawsuits, but we've seen Kemp and Rapsonsburg as a team before in um most certainly defending the system. And so since Kemp won by a big margin, I can't see I can't see Georgia being nearly as contested. But Arizona, you know, looks very dacy, I think in that respect, and well and Donald, that's how a bad night. In other ways, may it made a lot of games in Nevada over the years in terms of their their voting strength. It
looks like those games have disappeared. It looks like that both the Senate and the governor's seat are going to go Republican. We don't know quite yet. And Arizona has always been sort of a deep red state and sort of purple, and now it looks like it's sliding back to rhet So I think there are a lot of races in those pick up states. I think for Democrats recently in presidential elections look much diicier for four On the other hand, Michigan held their governorship for the Democrats,
and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Uh, And you know that that tells you something about just how contested American politics is. And rather than being depressed about polarization, we can also look at it saying that we're vibrant, were competitive, and for the most part, most of the electoral results will be accepted peacefully. And I think that's a very key takeaway from this election. Now we're speaking with Wendy Schiller, the director of the Topman Center for American Politics and
Policy at Brown University in Rhode Island. You know, the morning after any election, Professor, we think about what the mandate is for either party. When we have this kind of narrow result for Republicans and a better than expected result for Democrats, even if they go into a divided government here, what is the mandate for either party? I think the mandate comes from looking at independent voters and how they visit ibk R dot com slash interest rates
to learn more. Up first, Republicans made gains in the House this mid term election cycle, but control of the Senate hangs in the balance. Democrats flipped a key Senate race in Pennsylvania, with Democrat John Federman defeating Republican memit Oz has always been about fighting for everyone who's ever been knocked lockdown, and Democrat John Fetterman, who has been recovering from a stroke, one with fifty point one percent

Irving did meet yesterday with the NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. It was termed productive. There's nothing new on the Nets reported plans to hire m A. Eudoka as their new coach.

star on his homers. One Bloomberg Sports smith John, thank you. Six seven on Wall Street. Let's take a look at stock some of the names moving in the pre market this morning after election Day. We're joined by Bloomberg TV anchor and markets correspondent Danny Berger. Of course, we're not just looking at election results, Danny, We're watching the continued big tech layoff blood bath. Now we got meta platforms confirming big job cuts coming. Yeah, exactly. It's it's about
of the workforce that's over eleven thousand jobs. UM and this comes off the back of roughly two weeks ago met A results that were much weaker than expected. Shares have been down a lot, so I should say UM shares are up almost three percent this morning, and it does come. It's just sentiment is so negative around them. So you know, any bit of positive news, if you can call this positive UM is likely to account for a pop um. Speaking of accounting, it was remarkable Zuckerberg
in this statement when he announces these job cuts. To apologize, he writes, I know this is tough for everyone, and I'm especially sorry to those impact did. I want to take accountability for those decisions and for how we got here. So some major cost cutting going on with again letting go of about eleven thousand folks, and it's really, again just big tech grappling with the fact that their model needs to change. It's no longer growth at any cost.
They're getting slimmer and focusing on profitability. And to some extent, I wonder if we could sort of say the same thing about Disney after the earnings there and thinking about whether the streaming model needs to change well for them, I mean, I think we can absolutely see some parallels there because they're also talking after last night results that
fell short of expectations. UM Disney talking about looking at reducing expenses, not necessarily firing people, but you know, reducing expenses does sometimes lead to that, UM, but looking at things like marketing, UM, perhaps pulling back on spending there so UM larger programming. They had a lot of expenses when it came to that, the cost of a global expansion of Disney plus so all of that meant that
there were more than expected losses at the companies. Direct to consumer ARM theme park smount was also weaker, So all of that came together UM to punish Disney shares. They are currently down about seven and a half percent pre market, only about thirty seconds left. And I hate to put you on the spot, Danniel. We help me understand this Binance ft X thing, all right, don't think I can do it in thirty seconds. FTX liquidity crunch. So Binance, another exchange comes over, say that they're going
to rescue them, They're going to take them over. But the main story here is just fears that crypto is very vulnerable. There could be meltdowns, there could be contagient So all of those crypto stocks under pressure this morning. You stuck the landing. Thank you, Danny. As always Bloomberg TV anchor Markets correspondent Danny Burger keeping on top of those individual movers for us this morning.

still be digesting the results. Here we've got mixed action right now with U s and P futures down just three points, so little changed. DAL futures down seventy.

It's seventeen thousand, six hundred fifty dollars. That's a Bloomberg business Flash. Now here's Michael Barr with more on what's going on around
the world. Michael Karen, thank you very much. Control of Congress hangs in the balance, as Democrats have shown surprising strength defeating Republicans in a series of competitive races. Democrat John Letterman flipped a Republican controlled Senate seat that is key to the party's hopes of maintaining control of the chamber. It is too early to call critical Senate races in Wisconsin, Nevada, Georgia, and Arizona, which could determine the majority in the House.
Democrats kept seats and districts from Virginia to Kansas to Rhode Island. However, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy believes the GOP will say control. In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott fended off a challenge from Democrat Beatto or Rourke. Governor Rabbit address supporters, pointing to border security as one of the main issues driving votes in his state. Where any f Congress fall short, Texas must continue our unprecedented efforts to secure our border. Abbott also says we must never forget
our schools are for education, not for indoctrination. Democrat Letitia James has been elected to a second term as New York's Attorney General, and office she has used to pursue former President Donald Trump and a list of other powerful targets. James defeated Republican Michael Henry, a queen's lawyer who was endorsed by various police unions. Voters in battleground Michigan have enshrined abortion rights in the state constitution, joining Democratic California
and Vermont. On election night, Global News twenty four hours a day on air and on Bloomberg Quicktake, powered by more than twenty seven hundred journalist and analyst more than a hundred twenty countries. Michael bar this is Bloomberg Naked. Okay, Michael, thanks SERI are live from the Bloomberg Interacted Broker Studios where it's sixty nine on Wall Street. It is time to check what it's going on in d C. As it always is, but particularly after a mid term election,
it is particularly apt to do just that. So let's check in with Joe Matthew Are Washington correspondent, host of sound On on Bloomberg Radio. This morning, after that red wave didn't quite materialize for Republicans, Joe I saw the hashtag red trickle trending right around the time I attempted to go to sleep, which hasn't really happened yet, but yeah, that does seem to be the the narrative coming out of the night. And I do want to just sort of warn everybody that there's a lot of stuff that
has not been called yet. It is looking like the House will turn Republican, but yeah, not really in a wave projections of DEM's losing. You know, forty seats does not seem to be in the cards. Here in Virginia is a pretty good example of that. Some of the the cross currents that we saw last evening, a win for Abigail Spanburger, a race that we spent a lot of time talking about, beat yes Lea Vega in the seventh district. This was considered a bell weather for the nation.
And we added another one as well in Jennifer Weston that's the tenth district of Virginia, Northern Virginia DC suburbs, beat the Republican Hongkow. But there there there were some losses as well, a pretty big one in fact, as Elaine Lauria, the congresswoman on the January six committee lost her seat to State Senator Jen Kiggins. So two out of three ain't bad. I think it's the way Democrats look at this, and that is a bit of a
model for the nation. Well, what does the message that Democrats take away from this when they have a little bit better result than they expected and Republicans do look like they're going to be heading towards a narrower majority in the House than a lot of the pundits had expected. Joh, Well, it's a little bit difficult to start the post mortems yet because we have so much yet to learn. There's
there's still so many races to call. We don't really know what's gonna happen with the Senate, but I do think you know, look, it's not gonna be a reckoning for posters necessarily, but we have to come to grips with the fact that we're not sampling people the way that we need to be. And a lot of that could be young people who were motivated by issues that went beyond the scope of the economy and inflation and
so forth. And so we saw, you know, there there there was some mobilization around issues like abortion, like cannabis rights that was on the ballot in a number of states, and the Senate is still up in the air here, and it could be a month before we find out who controls the chambers. So we want to be tempered in the in our attempts to analyze what happened last night. Arizona is still up in the air, Nevada is still
up in the air, and Nathan so is Georgia. And right now Raphael Warnock and Senator uh and in herschel Walker both have less than fifty percent. It is entirely likely that goes to a runoff, so we could in fact wait a month before we know who owns the Senate. You know, in the last few years, Joe, there's been such a tendency to sort of nationalize these races when we think about control of Congress, that sort of thing. Did this come down to more local issues in this cycle?
It again a little bit difficult to say there. Look, there was a lot of crossover in major issues across UH, a lot of congressional districts here, and you know, I don't want to take away from what was actually a pretty good night apparently for Democrats here. In a message from Joe Biden in the midst of historic inflation and a war in Europe. Like you don't need to go
through this whole list for you here. Uh that that you know, maybe some of the other approaches on the Republican side, particularly candidates who were embracing denialism and did not accept the results of the election. To take a look at Carrie Lake out in Arizona. A lot of fun people thought you would crew was to victory. She is still down in a race that is not called down by at least a full percentage point, and she was calling for election fraud investigations before the race even
closed here. So there is a lot for us to figure out and a lot of voters to talk to to understand what actually motivated them to vote. Yeah, and uh, you know, not to get too far ahead, but actually I'm about to because Santis had a really good night beating Charlie Christ handily in Florida. Arguably former President Donald Trump, who were still expecting to make some kind of announcement next week, did not have as good a night. What's
the landscape for? That's fair to say. I look, and I don't know if that gives Rohn de Santis an upper hand in a race like that, it's very unclear that he could beat Donald Trump, for instance, in a primary. It's unclear donald Trump scares him away if he does
in fact announced next week. But you know, it was not lost on us that people in the crowd at the De Santis victory rally, we're cha thing two more years as he took victory of the big victory lap last night, because a lot of them would love to see him go on to Washington and be the president. Uh,
this is gonna take some time here. As Donald Trump calls him run to sanctimonious, they clearly don't love each other here and realize that they may in fact being a contest someday or might you know, block one or the other out here. I just I think that one's gonna take some time. But that's part of the motivation, Nathan of Donald Trump announcing as early as next week
is hope is to clear the field. Only about a minute left here, Joe, and of course market participants are trying to digest these results as we're still trying to figure out exactly what they're gonna be. What are you gonna be looking for in terms of policy going forward with the potential for a divided Washington. Returning, well, you know, we talked a lot about gridlock yesterday. Gridlock is good.
Wall Street likes this idea. We're not going to probably see a lot of major pieces of legislation flying out of a divided Congress if in fact that's how this lands. But the majority would be so slim in this case for Republicans in the House that there are a lot of questions about whether there's numbers to codify same sex marriage and a law to find an expanded child tax credit. What will happen when it's time to fund the government.
Maybe Democrats and Republicans have some motivation here, since no one's gonna have a real mandate to actually manage this fiscal cliff before we have to get into that next year. So there are a lot of big questions about the way a Kevin McCarthy, assuming he's the next speaker, would handle this. I would still expect a lot of investigations, though, a lot of hearings probes into the Biden administration. Get
ready to hear a lot about the Hunter laptop. Let's hope you get some rest before sound on five pm, Ball Street Time, hosted by Bloomberg Washington correspondent Joe Matthew, Joe, thank you, Karen, all right, sounds good, Nathan, thank you.
