The polls are now closed in South Carolina, 1 of 7 states holding primaries and runoffs for Congress today
Very early returns - Gov Henry McMaster leads John Warren 52-48% in GOP Gov primary. Trump campaigned for McMaster last night
McMaster won 42% in the GOP primary two weeks ago. Warren had just under 28%
Yes, it's still very early - but SC Gov McMaster trails in his runoff 53-47%, with 3% of precincts reporting
11% of precincts reporting in SC, and Gov McMaster leads his GOP runoff 53-47%
McMaster trailed in the early vote in Charleston County, but now leads as today's vote comes in - a good sign for him.
Forgot to note that the polls are now closed in Maryland and Oklahoma as well. 7 states in all tonight
In SC, Gov McMaster leading in all areas except the NW part of the state - up 54-46% with 26% of precincts in
Seems like the only way McMaster can lose is if there is an avalanche of votes for Warren in Greenville County
The early vote in Greenville County gave Warren 77% - he would need that (and maybe more) in election day vote as well
50% reporting, and McMaster's lead keeps going up. Now at almost 57-43%. Still nothing from Greenville County
Warren has now taken the lead in Charleston County, but McMaster up 55-45% with 59% reporting
And the polls have now closed in New York and Colorado
In Oklahoma, Rep Markwayne Mullin R-OK is the Lanterne Rouge, getting just 55.5% right now with 22% reporting (there are runoffs in OK)
Compare Mullin to fellow Oklahoma Rep Tom Cole at 67% and Rep Steve Russell at 85%
In SC, the AP has finally made the call, that Gov Henry McMaster will win his GOP runoff. Now up 53-47% with 84% reporting
Back in Oklahoma, Rep Markwayne Mullin R-OK trying to avoid being forced into a runoff. He's at 54% with 46% reporting
In New York, Rep Yvette Clarke D-NY leads by only 500 votes with 63% reporting
UPSET ALERT in New York, where Rep Joe Crowley D-NY trails 57-43%. Some had talked about Crowley running for Speaker
Looks like ex-Rep (and ex-con) Michael Grimm won't win; he's trailing Rep Dan Donovan R-NY 64-36 with 78% reporting
Down I-95 in Maryland, not one incumbent House member is under 80% right now
74% reporting in NY14, and Rep Joe Crowley D-NY trails 57-43% to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
In NY9, Rep Yvette Clarke D-NY holding on by about 900 votes with 84% reporting
The odd part about NY is the multiple party nominations. Crowley has a spot on the ballot in November for both 'Women's Equality' & 'Working Families'
84% reporting from NY14 and Rep Joe Crowley D-NY trails 57-43%
87% reporting from NY9 and Rep Yvette Clarke D-NY leads by only 305 votes over Adem Bunkeddeko
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is 28 years old. Adem Bunkeddeko is 30.
Back to SC for a moment - Sen Lindsey Graham R-SC goes EF Hutton on the Governor's race
The AP calls NY 14 for Ocasio, as Rep Joe Crowley D-NY, chair of the House Democratic Caucus has been defeated
Crowley is the third House member to lose a primary this year (2R, 1D), and by far, the most senior & powerful
Meanwhile in NY9, Rep Yvette Clarke D-NY leads by 250+ votes with 88% reporting
Trying to avoid Crowley's fate, Rep Yvette Clarke D-NY leads by 382 votes with 90% reporting
President Trump gets a piece of the loss by Rep Joe Crowley D-NY
Rep Joe Crowley D-NY concedes defeat, says he will support Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in November
Back in Oklahoma, Rep Markwayne Mullin R-OK holding at 54%, so it looks like he will avoid a primary runoff
Pelosi statement on loss by Rep Joe Crowley D-NY
Crowley's loss means 57 sitting House members won't be back in January - that's already equal to the turnover in the 2016 cycle
AP projects Mitt Romney wins the GOP nomination for US Senate in Utah
