A big surprise in the midterm election results so far, we're not seeing the GOP surge that many Republicans had forecast. With five races still to call, it's unclear who will control the Senate. Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia and Alaska still don't have a winner. Control of the House is leaning Republican, but only barely. Democrats, overall, are doing much better than expected. Incumbent Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto is trailing Republican challenger Adam Laxalt, but there are still a lot of votes left to count. A series of big wins for Republicans in Florida. Governor Ron DeSantis sailed to victory in his re-election campaign, beating former Governor Charlie Crist. In his victory speech last night, DeSantis thanked a long list of supporters, but he did not mention Donald Trump. The former president watched the results at his Mar-a-Lago resort and called it "a great evening," but he also tried to warn the governor against running again anytime soon.
