.HayesBrown: Kevin McCarthy can't be too happy that the “red wave” that was supposed to make him speaker of the House is not materializing.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., can’t be happy as the results are pouring in. Not only is the “red wave” that was supposed to make him speaker of the House not materializing, the NBC News Decision Desk says that we won’t know who controls the House tonight. Tellingly, the victory party at McCarthy’s headquarters more or less ended by around 9 p.m. local time.

This time, there’s not a dramatic story of, just a close race that drew less national attention than some of the other competitive Senate contests. The idea was that the state, particularly its growing “research triangle,” would have the kind of diverse and college-educated electorate that has turned neighboring states — like Georgia or Virginia — at least light blue.
