In Washington, D.C., House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy won the Republican nomination for speaker with 188 votes. He’ll need to secure a majority — at least 218 votes — in January to become speaker. Republicans lack just one seat to take control of the House, with GOP candidates leading in four of the nine races yet to be called. In other midterm news, Senator Raphael Warnock has sued his home state of Georgia for forbidding early voting on Saturdays before his December 6 runoff with Republican challenger Herschel Walker.
