Democrats win key Senate and governor races on US midterm election night

Results from Tuesday's midterms came in overnight, with Democrats winning Senate seats in North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas and holding Georgia and New Hampshire. Democrats also won governor's races in Ohio, California, New Mexico and Georgia. Early results show Democrats need a net gain of four seats to take control of the Senate. The elections are widely seen as a referendum on Trump's agenda.

• Roy Cooper won North Carolina's Senate seat, Annie Andrews flipped South Carolina, and James Talarico beat Ken Paxton in Texas, ending a 38-year Democratic losing streak in the state's Senate races.
• Sherrod Brown defeated incumbent Jon Husted in Ohio, while Jon Ossoff won re-election in Georgia and Chris Pappas won in New Hampshire. Republican Ashley Moody won Florida's special Senate election.
• Democrats won three of four Florida House districts Republicans redrew this year and narrowly lead in the fourth.
• On Monday the Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration's bid to block California's count of about 20,000 ballots the Justice Department says come from non-citizens. On Tuesday the Justice Department sent target letters to Democrats in an Alaska ballot-name probe.
