TX-Sen: A bummer, even if not entirely unexpected: ABC and NBC both call this race for Sen. Zodiac killer Ted Cruz, who beats Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke. However, Cruz is currently up just 51-49 with over 6 million votes tallied. If anything like this margin holds, it’ll be the closest statewide race Texas has seen in a long time, and Beto and all his supporters should hold their heads high. What’s more, enthusiasm at the top of the ticket may help Democrats win House seats.
