"Votes trend. They trend the way the early votes have come in. They trend, and we are trending. We have seen a trend ... It just feels so good to let go and be part of a wave," Peltola said.

Peltola also cautioned supporters that it would take "weeks" for all votes to be counted.

Peltola seemed to reference the controversy over the second Dan Sullivan on the ballot in the Senate race at two points.

"I'm looking out at this room of hundreds of people who are smart people and know exactly who they're voting for," she said.

Michigan Democrat Jocelyn Benson projected to win governorship

ABC News can project that Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson will win her gubernatorial election against her Republican opponent, Rep. John James, 54%-44% with 79% of the expected vote in.

Benson consistently led the polling in this race and was favored to win. She will replace term-limited Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Benson rose to national prominence for her role in defending Michigan’s elections in 2020 against the president’s debunked claims of fraud. She made that experience central to her campaign, pitching herself as a fighter that would stand up to Trump on policies like Tariffs and healthcare cuts.

This marks the third statewide election loss for James- he lost senate races in 2018 and 2020, to Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters, respectively.
