On Election Day, Vice President Kamala Harris made surprise calls to voters from the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C., urging them to participate in the election. Harris engaged with volunteers and expressed appreciation for their efforts to mobilize voters, while also personally thanking those who confirmed they had already voted. Meanwhile, House Republicans, led by Rep. Richard Hudson, expressed confidence in retaining their majority despite the uncertainty surrounding several close races, particularly in California. Hudson downplayed concerns regarding the impact of abortion issues on Republican candidates, asserting that there is no unified stance within the party on the topic. Critics have accused both Harris and former President Donald Trump of staging campaign stunts, with some questioning the authenticity of Harris's phone-banking efforts. The final results of the election are expected to take time, particularly with ongoing counting in key battleground states.
