YOUNG KIM holds on in Orange County. … Democratic Rep. KIM SCHRIER reelected in Washington's 8th. … More election results NEW PROJECTION ON HOUSE MAJORITY — The sun has now risen three times since GOP Leader KEVIN McCARTHY assured Americans that they would wake up to a House Republican majority. Yet we still don't know who won either chamber of Congress — and each day, the sun has set with the projected number of Republican seats dimming. This morning, our colleague Steve Shephard even points out that while it may be unlikely, Democrats still actually have a very narrow path to holding the majority. There are a bunch of uncalled races where the results are expected to go one way or the other. But it all comes down to about 11 true toss-ups where forecasters really aren't sure what will happen — and of those, Dems would need to win nine to maintain power. Given that narrow path, Republicans are "still favored to take a narrow House majority," Steve notes. But even in a best-case scenario, the GOP is looking at a mere 226 seats. A chaotic scenario where their majority consists of just a handful of seats is even more likely. It could be a while until we have answers:
- In Arizona: Officials in Maricopa County "initially estimated they would complete the vote tally by Friday. Now, they say, they will be counting through the weekend," writes the Arizona Republic's Robert Anglen . "About 570,000 ballots statewide remained to be counted Thursday night."
- In Nevada: AP's Ken Ritter writes that Vegas elections leaders say they're counting votes "as quickly as we can," but still have 50,000 ballots outstanding in critical Clark County.
- In Colorado: The Denver Post's Conrad Swanson looks at the possibility of a recount in the unexpectedly close race between Republican Rep. LAUREN BOEBERT and Democrat ADAM FRISCH. "If neither candidate gains a wide enough margin, election officials might not declare an official winner in the race for weeks, depending on how the process plays out," Swanson writes. "Not only would a slim margin of victory trigger an automatic recount but either candidate can also request a recount so long as they're willing to pay for it. The process could then extend into December."
- In California: There are an estimated 4,829,879 unprocessed ballots remaining to be counted, according to the latest numbers from the California secretary of state's office.
The lack of clarity about the final outcome hasn't kept House Republicans from declaring victory. Yesterday, as he continued to work the phones to lock down support for the speakership, McCarthy made two moves aimed at projecting confidence about a GOP takeover: (1) creating transition teams dedicated to implementing Republicans' policy agenda while providing oversight of the Biden administration, and (2) demanding that the Capitol reopen to the public after more than 900 days of closures due to Covid restrictions. McCarthy defended his drape-measuring maneuvers ahead of an official call for House control in a Fox News appearance last night. None other than President JOE BIDEN, he said, had congratulated him on winning a majority: "So for anyone who thinks we didn't win the majority, Joe at least believes we did as well." Leaving the White House last night, Biden told CNN's Jeremy Diamond his kudos were merely conditional : "I said, 'If you win the majority, congratulations. But congratulations so far, you've made some gains." LAME DUCK IN LIMBO — Lawmakers have until Dec. 16 to agree on a new deal to fund the government, and their postures in that fight could vary drastically depending on who's in control next year, our colleagues Burgess Everett and Sarah Ferris write . If Republicans flip both chambers, they'll likely want to hold out on a long-term funding deal so they can make their mark on government priorities come 2023. But if they don't, they might be more willing to strike a pre-holidays deal that kicks the next funding fight until late 2023. The results will also influence how Democrats spend their remaining weeks in power of both chambers. "If Democrats hold the Senate, they may focus more on legislation while they're still assured power in the House," the pair write. "But if Senate Democrats are worried about losing control of their chamber, they are likely to pivot to confirming as many of President Joe Biden's nominees as possible." MARK YOUR CALENDARS — On Thursday, DONALD TRUMP's team revealed that the former president's Mar-a-Lago announcement — widely expected to be the unveiling of his 2024 presidential campaign — will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at 9 p.m. WHAT REPUBLICANS ARE GOSSIPING ABOUT — All week, many of Trump's closest former advisers and aides — even those who stuck by his side after Jan. 6 — have pleaded with him to pump the brakes on a 2024 announcement. They fear his launch could hurt Republicans in the looming Georgia Senate runoff. On Thursday, former New Jersey Gov. CHRIS CHRISTIE even offered this zinger to the AP : "We lost in '18. We lost in '20. We lost in '21 in Georgia. And now in '22 we're going to net-lose governorships, we're not going to pick up the number of seats in the House that we thought and we may not win the Senate despite a president who has a 40% job approval," Christie said. "There's only one person to blame for that, and that's Donald Trump." Republicans in battleground states where the GOP lost big have already begun pointing fingers at Trump:
| | | | A message from The American Petroleum Institute (API): America faces a mismatch between available energy supply and growing demand that is putting upward pressure on prices. API's 10-Point Policy Plan offers long-term policy solutions to fix this imbalance and restore U.S. energy leadership. A Rystad study found that implementing a set of federal policies could spur nearly $200 billion in direct investment, generate over 225,000 jobs by 2035 and provide consumers relief with more U.S. natural gas, oil, CCUS and hydrogen supplies. | | | On the other end of the spectrum, there's Rep. ELISE STEFANIK. Last night, the New York Republican became the first member of GOP leadership to formally endorse Trump's 2024 campaign — even though it hasn't yet been announced. The move, which came in the form of a fawning statement in Breitbart , caught some Republicans off guard — especially those who'd prefer that Trump just fade away into the background — and we've received more than a few texts musing about the motivations behind it. Stefanik, the congressional darling of MAGA World, is currently running for the No. 4 House leadership post. But many believe her ambitions go well beyond that. With McCarthy staring down a possibly difficult path to the speakership, some Hill GOP sources wonder if she's eyeing the gavel — though others say that's unlikely given that the job looks like it will be as thankless as it is grueling, given the slim margin of the expected House majority. Worth noting: Publicly, she is fully behind McCarthy for the post. Others speculate that her endorsement is more of a long-term play. Many see Stefanik as a future candidate for New York governor — or even a potential 2024 running mate for Trump, who endorsed her bid for conference chair just a few days ago. And the former president, who values loyalty to him above all else, is likely to remember her coming to his defense in such a rough week. Questions we have: Could this create a new litmus test for would-be House Republican leaders? Will people like McCarthy feel they need to endorse Trump now as well? Further reading: "Trump plows forward, GOP critics be damned," by Meridith McGraw: "Trump spent Thursday at rain soaked Mar-a-Lago fuming about the midterm election results and what he and his advisers saw as an unfair blame for the lack of a red wave. Aides took note of who they believed had crossed them in the election's aftermath …. It wasn't just so-called establishment Republicans on their list, but also old advisers, new members of Congress, commentators on Fox News, and even his favorite hometown paper, the New York Post, that ran a front page headline painting him as 'Trumpty Dumpty.'"

WHEELS UP — "Biden off to climate talks, 1st leg of around-the-world trip," AP's Zeke Miller and Seung Min Kim RICK SCOTT'S ABORTED COUP — When we reported in February that Trump was trying to convince NRSC Chair RICK SCOTT (R-Fla.) to run against MITCH McCONNELL for minority leader, many longtime Senate watchers scoffed. After all, Trump may loom large as kingmaker for Republican primary voters, but in the more genteel realm of the Senate, McConnell runs the show. No one thought any would-be McConnell challenger would have a prayer of earning more than a handful of votes, at most. Last night, POLITICO's newest star hire Jonathan Martin uncovered an eye-popping twist in the roller coaster of the Scott-McConnell feud: Scott, he scoops, was prepared to actually follow through on Trump's suggestion — and even cut a video set to be released after the midterms in which he announced that he'd challenge McConnell for the top leadership spot. What changed? You guessed it: The GOP's lackluster election night performance, which halted any momentum for Scott, who as NRSC chair, helmed the party's efforts to retake the Senate. More from JMart: "[W]ord had reached some prominent conservatives outside the Senate and a handful of GOP senators had gotten wind of his plan and started calculating just how many votes his longshot campaign could accrue at the leadership vote next week in the Capitol. "He would have been virtually certain to lose. But Scott's challenge was not so much aimed at unseating the longtime Senate Republican leader as it was channeling the anger of grassroots conservatives, and the former president, who were peeved at McConnell's criticism of the 'candidate quality' of this year's roster of Senate GOP candidates." The story also includes this knifer from longtime McConnell political adviser JOSH HOLMES : "If this is true, most of our voters will be very disappointed to learn that while they were focused on winning elections, their campaign chairman was plotting an ill-fated career advancement."

SEAN PATRICK MALONEY (D-N.Y.) spoke to NYT's Nicholas Fandos for a candid conversation on his defeat. It's an interesting perspective, but the most eye-popping quote came when the DCCC chair was asked about Rep. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ (D-N.Y.), with whom he has lightly sparred before. Here's what Maloney said: "The last time I ran into A.O.C., we were beating her endorsed candidate two to one in a primary, and I didn't see her one minute of these midterms helping our House majority. So, I'm not sure what kind of advice she has, but I'm sure she'll be generous with it. "But let's be clear, she had almost nothing to do with what turned out to be an historic defense of our majority. Didn't pay a dollar of dues. Didn't do anything for our frontline candidates except give them money when they didn't want it from her. "There are other voices who should be heard, especially when suburban voters have clearly rejected the ideas that she's most associated with, from defunding the police on down. She's an important voice in our politics. But when it comes to passing our agenda through the Congress, or standing our ground on the political battlefield, she was nowhere to be found." — AOC clapped back in a multi-post Twitter thread , which ended with this: "Lastly, many moderate dems + leaders made it very clear that our help was not welcome nor wanted. Despite our many, many offers. Yet [we] found ways to try to help from afar. So for them to blame us for respecting their approach in their districts is laughable. Take some ownership." GEORGIA ON MY MIND — "McConnell turns to Brian Kemp to help save Herschel Walker in Georgia runoff," by Alex Isenstadt: "[Georgia Gov. BRIAN] KEMP is loaning his get-out-the-vote machine to the Senate GOP's voter turnout efforts, giving the party entrée to a political team that is increasingly viewed as one of the GOP's most formidable state operations. … Under an agreement that was finalized Thursday, Kemp will transfer his door-knocking, data analytics, phone-banking and micro-targeting program to the Senate Leadership Fund, the McConnell-aligned super PAC that is bolstering [ HERSCHEL] WALKER. The super PAC will provide the funding for the $2 million-plus effort, which will be run by Kemp's senior advisers and staffed by more than 100 field workers." — "Dueling rallies mark launch of Georgia's runoff," by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Tia Mitchell and Shannon McCaffrey: "[Sen. RAPHAEL] WARNOCK appeared in the afternoon with about 200 people at the iconic mural of deceased U.S. Rep. JOHN LEWIS in downtown Atlanta. Warnock, who had been reluctant early on in the campaign to attack his GOP rival, had no such reservations Tuesday. … Later in the day, Walker headlined a rally in Canton that felt like a pep rally. An exuberant crowd of hundreds packed into a tent to hear Walker, who evoked his years playing football." HOW DEMS HELD ON — Kathy Gilsinan profiles Rep. ELISSA SLOTKIN for POLITICO Magazine in East Lansing, Mich.: "The One Race That Shows How Democrats Beat the Red Wave" : "The Michigan Democrat had been targeted by the GOP, but she beat them by stealing away some of their own weary voters." THE DEM POST-MORTEMS — "Eager to Grab National Spotlight, Abrams Falls Again on Georgia Stage," by NYT's Maya King and Reid Epstein in Atlanta: "How does a politician who a few years ago was described as a once-in-a-generation star, and has become a record-breaking fund-raiser and liberal darling, keep coming up short in her home state?" — "Wisconsin Democrats lost a battleground House seat. They're pointing fingers at the national party," by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Lawrence Andrea — "Depressed Democrats, but not Hochul, point fingers at New York party chair," by Anna Gronewold HOW IT PLAYED — "School culture war campaigns fall flat in some tight races," by WaPo's Laura Meckler and Anne Branigin TOP-ED — Sen. MITT ROMNEY (R-Utah) writes for WSJ: "Midterms Bring Republicans to a Fork in the Road" MUSK READS BEHIND THE SCENES — "Inside the Twitter meltdown," by Platformer's Casey Newton and Zoë Schiffer: "Just after lunchtime on the West Coast, [ELON] MUSK held an unannounced all-hands meeting with staff — his first as CEO. Musk had given employees just one hour's notice; he arrived 15 minutes late. Over the next hour Musk shared more bad news with the company. Depending on the length and severity of the recession, he said, the company could lose several billion dollars next year. He would not speculate how much runway Twitter had left. 'Bankruptcy isn't out of the question,' he said." POLICY CORNER THE LOAN LITIGATION — "Federal judge in Texas strikes down Biden's student loan forgiveness plan," by WaPo's Danielle Douglas-Gabriel: "U.S. District Judge MARK T. PITTMAN, who was appointed by Donald Trump, declared the policy unlawful in the Thursday order." 2024 WATCH THE MASTER VS. THE APPRENTICE — Trump and Florida Gov. RON DeSANTIS appear to be on a collision course for a 2024 presidential matchup — and the former president accelerated the feud on Thursday. Trump released a lengthy statement tearing into DeSantis (whom he again referred to as "Ron DeSanctimonious"), essentially saying that he was the reason for the Florida governor's success and criticizing DeSantis for not announcing his presidential ambitions. Trump also tore into RUPERT MURDOCH's media empire. Here's some highlights:
- On DeSantis and 2024: "The Fake News asks him if he's going to run if President Trump runs, and he says, 'I'm only focused on the governor's race, I'm not looking into the future. Well, in terms of loyalty and class, that's really not the right answer."
- On Murdoch: "NewsCorp, which is Fox, the Wall Street Journal, and the no longer great New York Post, is all in for Governor Ron DeSanctimonious."
- A bizarre claim: "When votes were being stolen by the corrupt Election process in Broward County, and Ron was going down ten thousand votes a day, along with now-Senator Rick Scott, I sent in the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys, and the ballot theft immediately ended, just prior to them running out of the votes necessary to win. I stopped his Election from being stolen."
"There are mixed responses to Trump's escalation, according to a dozen people in Trump and DeSantis' orbit," our colleague Matt Dixon reports . "But even those who support the former president say the public criticism of a popular governor coming off a historic win seemed misguided." — "Republicans control Florida. DeSantis will use them to build his 2024 resume," by Gary Fineout in Tallahassee: "DeSantis will now be able to turn to state lawmakers to give him legislative and policy victories that he can use in a highly competitive Republican primary against Trump if both men run for president in 2024." — Speaking of 2024 challengers … @mikepompeo tweets : "Conservatives are elected when we deliver. Not when we just rail on social media. That's how we can win. We fight for families and a strong America."
