Transcript

Maya Good evening, it is 6:33 PM Eastern. No votes have been counted yet tonight.

Daniel That's right, Maya. Everything you are about to hear is pre-election data, not results.

Maya Daniel, walk us through where the Senate stands before any ballots are tallied.

Daniel Going into tonight, Democrats hold 34 Senate seats, Republicans hold 31, and 35 seats are not yet projected.

Maya So what does each side need to win control?

Daniel Democrats need 51 seats for control, Republicans need 50.

Maya And just to be clear, none of that reflects any votes being counted right now.

Daniel Correct. These are Crosstab's final pre-election polling averages, not a result and not a prediction.

Maya We don't yet have poll closing times loaded for tonight, so we'll bring those to you the moment they're confirmed.

Daniel As soon as the first numbers come in from any state, we'll bring them to you live.

Maya Stay with us. Crosstab Live continues all night.
