See moment NASA launches Artemis I mission

NASA has launched the most powerful operational rocket in the world in a third attempt to kick off its historic Artemis I mission an uncrewed test flight around the moon.

Republicans are one seat away from winning the 218 seats necessary to claim a House majority, according to CNN projections, while Democrats would need to win all of the 11 remaining races to retain control. Six of the 11 undecided races are in California, where counting mail-in ballots typically takes weeks.

The GOP on Tuesday voted to nominate California Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the House minority leader since 2019, for speaker. McCarthy won a secret ballot on a 188-31 vote, fending off a long-shot challenge from Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs, a former chair of the conservative House Freedom Caucus.

Remaining races and recent projections

Alaska

Alaska debuted a new ranked-choice voting system for general elections this year. Results reported so far only reflect voters first-place choices. If no candidate gets a majority of first choices, the winner is determined by the ranked choice process. That tabulation is scheduled for November 23.

California

There are 6 uncalled House races in California, the most populous state in the country. Counting is expected to take weeks with the official canvass not due for a month after Election Day. Mail-in ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and received by Tuesday, November 15. (CNN has not yet projected who will win Californias 34th District but is counting it as part of the Democrats total because both candidates are Democrats.)

Colorado

The Centennial State gained an eighth seat in reapportionment after the 2020 census. Two races remain uncalled.

Maine

Maine is another state that uses ranked-choice voting to decide its winners in federal elections. Results reported so far reflect voters first-place choices. Under ranked-choice voting, if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their votes are allocated to their voters second-place choices. The process continues until a candidate clears 50%. The ranked choice tabulation is scheduled for Tuesday, November 15.

New Mexico

Oregon

Oregon conducts its elections entirely by mail. Ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and can be received up to seven days later. The state gained a new House seat in redistricting. One of the six House races in Oregon remains uncalled.

Watch Donald Trump announce his 2024 candidacy

Former President Donald Trump announced that he will run for president in 2024.

White House officials were expecting a split screen moment this week as President Joe Biden met world leaders in Bali at the same moment as his predecessor was expected to announce a third presidential run.

But the dynamic has only been amplified as Biden convenes emergency talks with world leaders about explosions in Poland the same hour Trump loyalists fill the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for the former president's announcement.

Biden was leading the crisis talks with members of the G7 and NATO in Bali two groupings Trump questioned the usefulness of when he was in office. 

"There was total unanimity among the folks at the table," Biden said emerging from the talks. Less than 10 minutes later, Trump walked into stage at Mar-a-Lago.

Heading into the trip, Bidens advisers were not particularly concerned about the split-screen and after Democrats election success were even less wary of Trump announcing a third bid for president while Biden was in Asia.

For one, Biden officials are happy to take the comparison between the current president and the former on the foreign stage, given the general chaos that often trailed Trump as he traveled abroad.

Trumps announcement will surely prompt renewed attention on Bidens on decision-making on running for reelection. By all accounts, including from his closest advisers, Biden will feel more propelled to seek a second term if Trump is in contention.

But, for Biden, the timing could not have been more opportune. The prospect of a midterm wipeout loomed over preparations for his around-the-world trip over the last several weeks. Widespread Republican wins including by election deniers would badly complicate the presidents bedrock message that Democracies will win out against autocracies.

Trumps tease of a campaign announcement at the very moment Biden would be rallying the world behind democratic ideals only elevated the stakes.
