@AP_Politics "Right now, I’m the Democratic Party." Biden challenged Trump after he accused him of supporting abolishing private health insurance. Biden noted that he won the Democratic nomination partly by arguing against single-payer health care.

Why does The Associated Press call U.S. elections?

Unlike in other democracies, the Founding Fathers didn’t establish a government agency for counting the vote, and the states all do it a little differently, so the @AP counts the votes.

#Election2022

THREAD 👇
The Associated Press has been counting votes and declaring winners in elections since 1848.

How does @AP count the vote on election night?

It takes months of preparation, 4,000 vote gatherers, and dozens of experts declaring winners in thousands of races.

All the numbers are carefully checked numerous times for accuracy.

What happens if Republicans win back the House and Senate?

Here’s what is at stake as voters across the U.S. decide who they want to represent them in Congress.

THREAD 👇

#Election2022
If the GOP wins back the House, Democratic priorities like access to abortion, addressing climate change and stricter gun control would immediately be sidelined.

Most of Biden’s agenda would be effectively dead for the final two years of his term.

While the Senate could tilt either way, the majority party is still likely to have the slimmest of margins.

That means Biden could find a bit more common ground there, no matter who is in charge.

BREAKING: Democrat Philip Murphy wins reelection for governor in New Jersey. #APracecall at 6:26 p.m. EDT. #Election2021 #NJelection
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy won reelection in close race against Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli. His victory spares Democrats the loss of a 2nd gubernatorial seat. apne.ws/0wJ58is
Ciattarelli waged a formidable campaign in the deep blue state. His spending nearly equaled Murphy's and outpaced the GOP's performance 4 years ago.
Murphy's advantages, including 1 million more registered Democrats, proved too much to overcome. apne.ws/Ey8h4N0

Minneapolis voters reject replacing its police department with a new public safety unit. The result comes more than a year after George Floyd’s death launched a movement to defund or abolish police across the country. apne.ws/Kn210ly
The debate brought national attention to the election, as well as a river of out-of-state money seeking to influence a contest that could shape changes in policing elsewhere, too. apne.ws/7bXATQL
The ballot proposal had roots in the abolish-the-police movement that erupted after Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer last year. The debate over racial justice in policing brought national attention to Tuesday’s vote. apne.ws/sPP649N
