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.

It is a very big day in America. People across the country are casting their ballots and in some areas, there are lines outside polling places. More than 40 million people voted early nationwide, and we are expecting high turnout today, with so much at stake. Where things stand in Washington now, Democrats control the House, but not by much. The Senate is split 50/50, but Democrats have control because Vice President Kamala Harris has the tie-breaking vote. Republicans hope to take both chambers. In 2020, the presidential election came down to the state of Pennsylvania, and it remains a state that is hard to predict. In Nevada, the economy is a top concern for many voters headed to the polls. That could be bad news for Democrats. The stakes are high this morning for Democrats and Republicans, and the American people of course. CBS News Senior White House and Political Correspondent, Ed O'Keefe, and CBS News Congressional Correspondent, Scott MacFarlane, are with us to discuss the potential impact of the election results around the country.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Mike Madrid, GOP political consultant and co-founder of The Lincoln Project, joins CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane ahead of the midterm elections. He explains how the Latino vote is critical in many competitive races across the country, how Republicans have made inroads with the Hispanic population and why he thinks ticket splitting on Election Day is a good sign. Madrid also discusses how The Lincoln Project came together in an effort to defeat President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, how tension among the group's founders led to their separation and responds to criticism of the organization. Madrid is featured in the Showtime documentary series "The Lincoln Project," which chronicles the organization during the 2020 election.

The midterms are just one day away, and the stakes could not be higher. Over the weekend, President Joe Biden and former presidents, Donald Trump and Barack Obama, campaigned in crucial battleground states. The two parties are delivering very different closing messages with vastly different visions as they battle for control of Congress. More than 40 million Americans have already cast their votes. That includes record early turnout for a midterm in Georgia. In 2020, Arizona chose a Democrat for president for the first time in 24 years, and this year, the contests are very tight again. Republican Kari Lake and Democrat Katie Hobbs are neck and neck in the governor's race, while Democratic Senator Mark Kelly hopes to fend off a challenge from Republican Blake Masters. Voters in Florida will also decide important races for senator and governor, but that campaign is also about something bigger, highlighted by dueling rallies yesterday held by former President Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

The debate over what's at stake in Tuesday's midterms, as many GOP candidates refuse to promise they'll accept the results if they lose. Last night, in a speech at Washington's Union Station, President Biden argued democracy itself is at risk. Our polling shows that right now, the economy is the number one issue for voters, amid worries about high inflation. Many of those suspicions about the democratic process stem from former President Trump's false claims about the 2020 election. The man charged with federal and state felonies in the assault of Paul Pelosi is now also facing possible detention by U.S. immigration officials. Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to be on the brink of taking power again. Netanyahu was forced to step down last year amid corruption charges, for which he's still on trial. Newly-released police dispatch audio from the school massacre in Uvalde, Texas reveals widespread miscommunication during the police response at Robb Elementary School. These recordings, obtained by the Texas Tribune and ProPublica, show the desperation inside the school during 77 minutes of terror. In Florida, the gunman who killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was sent to prison yesterday after a stormy court hearing. A judge sentenced Nikolas Cruz to life without parole, the only possible punishment, after a jury refused to unanimously endorse the death penalty in the case. CBS, our parent company Paramount Global, and former CBS President and CEO, Leslie Moonves, have agreed to a settlement, worth more than $30 million, to resolve allegations of insider trading, misleading investigators, and attempting to conceal sexual assault claims. Moonves was fired in 2018 after harassment allegations against him became public. He denies any wrongdoing.
