Democratic candidate Adam Hamilton is set to make history with a projected win in his U.S. Senate race, breaking the party’s 94-year losing streak in Kansas.

Hamilton, a pastor leading the country’s largest United Methodist congregation in the country, is projected to defeat Republican incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall for the seat — the first Democrat win a Senate seat since 1932, defying the odds in a state President Donald Trump won three times.

Meanwhile, in the governor’s race, Democratic state Sen. Cindy Holscher and state Senate President Ty Masterson are running for the open seat to replace term-limited Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly.

In North Carolina, former Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, is projected to win his Senate race, beating a challenge from former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley.

Cooper’s projected win flips the seat blue in a state President Donald Trump won three times. The seat is currently held by outgoing Republican Sen. Thom Tillis who is not seeking reelection.

North Carolina voters will also decide a couple of competitive House races on Tuesday, notably in the state’s 1st and 11th Congressional Districts. North Carolina redrew its congressional map last year to advantage Republicans.
