GOP Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas is projected to win his reelection bid, defeating Democratic challenger Hallie Shoffner.

Maryland’s “Question 3” ballot initiative will pass, ABC News projects, which will make it more feasible for Maryland’s Democratic-controlled state legislature to redraw the state’s congressional map ahead of the 2028 elections.

The measure itself does not contain a new map.

This is a major win for Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat running for reelection who is also considered a potential 2028 presidential candidate. Moore has promoted Maryland redistricting.

Democrats said they are trying to counter Republican-led redistricting in other states by making it easier for Maryland to redraw its own. However, Maryland’s state Senate president has blocked efforts to fully redraw Maryland’s map for 2026 -- a move designed to flip the state’s sole Republican-held congressional district. He said he felt the effort would backfire legally.
