Decision Desk HQ projected that Democrat Jon Ossoff won the US Senate race in Georgia, according to a report that did not give vote totals or a margin. Reuters separately projected Ossoff's win and reported a $126 million fundraising gap and $18 million in outside spending for his Republican opponent. The Guardian gave a different fundraising figure of $115.9 million and reported ties between the opponent's staff and extremists.

SSRS exit polls found that half of voters saw the midterms as a rebuke of Trump and that three-quarters were angry or dissatisfied with the country's direction. The BBC reported Republican resource diversion from Georgia, a decision by Kemp not to run, and Ossoff's statement of zero interest in a 2028 presidential bid.

A separate account said the Associated Press called the Georgia race for Ossoff at 7:55 p.m. on November 3, 2026, defeating Republican Mike Collins, a two-term congressman endorsed by Trump in the party primary. The same account said the AP called Virginia's Senate race for Democrat Mark Warner at 7 p.m. that day, defeating Republican Bert Mizusawa.
