House Democratic campaign chair Sean Patrick Maloney concedes New York race

From CNN's Greg Krieg and Sarah Fortinsky

New York Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, chair of the House Democratic campaign arm, has conceded his race to Republican Mike Lawler, a state assembly member from Rockland County. 

Maloney’s spokesperson Mia Ehrenberg confirmed the concession to CNN.

CNN has not yet projected a winner in this race.

Lawler told Fox News on Wednesday that Maloney "just called me a few minutes ago and was very gracious in conceding to me.”

He called it “a hard-fought campaign” and said “people wanted change."

Lawler also acknowledged the difference of the newly redistricted map, saying when the map came out, “I took one look at it and knew that I could win it.”

“He didn’t have that built-in advantage of incumbency that a normal incumbent would have,” Lawler said of the new map.

Lawler said it looked like he might lose Westchester County, acknowledging it has become increasingly Democratic, and said, “I got a lot of work to do over there to make inroads over the next two years and I look forward to doing that.”

Republicans won over White women and Democrats lost support among Latino voters

This year, Republicans won a majority of White women, an important voting bloc the two parties split in 2018.

Republicans also made good on predictions that they would perform better among Latino voters than they did four years ago.

Democrats’ support among Latino men was 63% in 2018 and is under 55% in 2022, according to the early exit polls. Republicans appeared to cut into Democrats’ advantage among Latino women, although Democrats still got the support of about two-thirds of them.

Here's a look at the changes between 2018 and 2022:

Key Trump-backed candidates have a rough night as crucial races are still too early to call

From CNN's Maegan Vazquez

Former President Donald Trump's endorsements for political candidates in close high-profile races have not yet given Republicans the swift and sweeping victories they had anticipated for this election cycle, despite many GOP hopefuls banking on his support to propel their campaigns. 

Many critical midterm races have yet to be called as of Wednesday morning, but so far, no Republican endorsed by Trump in a toss-up gubernatorial, US Senate or House race has won. Among those toss-up races where Trump had publicly backed a candidate, CNN projects the governor's seat in Wisconsin, a Senate seat for Pennsylvania and four House seats are going to Democrats.

The Trump-backed candidate with the highest profile who pulled out a win was JD Vance in Ohio, who is projected to become the next US senator from Ohio after defeating Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan. CNN had rated that race as lean Republican.

Trump has traveled across the country, stumping for Republicans at huge rallies that mirrored event programs of his past presidential campaign stops — implicitly framing himself as the leader of the party. Now, as Republicans begin to reckon with what the results mean, they'll also have to address whether Trump's agenda will help or hurt in the 2024 elections. 

A Trump adviser who has been in contact with Trump's inner circle told CNN that the former president is "livid" and "screaming at everyone" after the results.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accepted Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin's apology about remarks he made about her husband, Pelosi's spokesperson said.

The Virginia Republican sent her a handwritten note of apology for comments he made after the assault on her husband Paul Pelosi, her spokesperson told CNN.

The letter comes after Youngkin, while stumping for congressional candidate Yesli Vega, said about Paul Pelosi's assault: “Speaker Pelosi’s husband had a break-in last night in their house, and he was assaulted. There’s no room for violence anywhere, but we’re gonna send her back to be with him in California. That’s what we’re going to go do.”

After his remarks, he told Punchbowl News: "At the end of the day, I really wanted to express the fact that what happened to Speaker Pelosi’s husband was atrocious. And I didn’t do a great job.” 

Punchbowl was the first to report about the letter.
