Nov. 4, 2014 -- RNC chairman
Reince Preibus, joined by the chairs of the NRCC and NRSC, held an
Election Night news conference. Preibus stated: "We feel pretty good right
now. It's been a good night so far. We are excited about
Cory Gardner coming in and a lot of House races coming in. We
feel like getting to six tonight is clearly, clearly in the view and we
couldn't be happier with what's happening around the country. We
feel good about where our candidates were at—recruited, I think,
stellar candidates across the country. Our governors are
winning. It looks like Scott Walker's up, Rick Scott is up, and a
lot of other governors are yet to come in. It's early, we
understand that, and a lot of our most important races are out west, in
Iowa, Colorado, Alaska and Louisiana looks like it's going to a
runoff. So we're happy with where we're at and we're excited
about what tonight is going to bring for the Republican Party."

One of the most surprising
results was the Virginia Senate race, where challenger Ed Gillespie (R)
was ahead of Sen. Mark Warner (D) for much of the night. |
