Ohio, Kansas elections too close to call; Trump claims win
WESTERVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Two high-stakes elections that tested President Donald Trump's clout and cost both parties millions of dollars were too close to call early Wednesday. Trump claimed victory in one nevertheless and proclaimed himself '5 for 5' on the night.
In battleground Ohio, the president took credit for Republican Troy Balderson's performance, calling it "a great victory," even though the congressional contest could be headed to a recount. Democrats could also celebrate their showing in the district that has gone Republican for decades.
"We're not stopping now," Democrat Danny O'Connor told cheering supporters. He'll reprise his campaign against Balderson from now through November's general election.
