All right, we're looking, we just,
producer Sidney just was talking to my ears saying
Senate race, three points apart-ish right now.
That is a little bit of a newer update for us.
We just got a huge, if you look at the estimated vote count,
we just got 9% of the vote just
dropped in the last few minutes, including a ton in Detroit.
So it's to the city of Detroit.
And that's what, historically,
a little bit of a slower turn in terms of getting those
votes in.
So this is a big deal that jumped 9%.
We now have 42% of the city of Detroit.
Okay.
What is that, 89-point lead for Dr. Rossman in Dearborn,
half of the vote in, and it's
a 70-some, 66-point lead?
Those numbers are surprising,
even for people that projected this was going to happen in
those cities.
Detroit, I would say, is less surprising than this Dearborn, for sure.
And Romulus, which is not exactly
the normal bellwether for Wayne County.
Interesting, okay.
There's-
This last few minutes is very good news for the El-Sayed campaign.
Wow.
So we may be hearing from him at some point
as things continue to lean this way.
Any other surprises in the last few minutes?
I do want to check
in and see what our House districts are looking like.
Sure.
Eh, that actually hasn't changed at all.
Okay, well, that's a bummer.
But let's go to the governor's race.
Yes.
That lead has stayed roughly the same.
It's been about the same.
It's a pretty comfortable seven points.
58% reporting.
Okay, so there's still some time.
Our first results from Marquette, 100% of the vote now in.
That was the last university in the state we were waiting for.
Right.
And now, like every other university in the state, it is going blue.
Wow.
And as far as, like, go back to Detroit for one second.
I want to take a look at that because that is new.
How much of Detroit is left?
Okay, so 42%.
I mean, it's pretty unbelievable to see these numbers in real time.
It's pretty steady here, too.
Dylan, surprised at all at how fast, I mean,
it is 12:30, but surprised at all how fast
that the numbers have come in from Detroit?
I mean, usually we can see it next day and we're still uncounted there.
Well, I, from...
Am I surprised that we're getting these numbers?
Not necessarily.
Am I surprised that we got all of that at once at 12:30?
That's, I guess, was my question.
That is strange.
It was just Wayne County doing a big, you know, that's one thing.
But we had, in minutes, we were watching in the newsroom,
we had Wayne, we had Marquette,
we had Sanilac, St. Clair.
We only have five, six, seven counties left
that we don't have votes for.
And Dylan, for people that are just joining us,
not everybody who's been watching necessarily
online, there has been some races that have been called here.
Let's take a look at those to just sort of get people up to speed.
Some not surprising at all, you know,
in terms of Debbie Dingell, Rashida Tlaib.
All these five are incumbents.
They kept their seats.
Jeremy, State Senator Jeremy Moss beat Troy
Mayor Ethan Baker in the 11th District.
Thank you.
Donovan McKinney took the seat
that was left vacant by Shri Tanadar in the 13th.
So those early results that were in,
nothing real shocking there for those campaigns?
For those races, no.
Okay.
Dylan Dolberg for us.
Thank you so much for checking in.
