Republicans secured the Senate with key wins, while Democrats Angela Alsobrooks and Adam Schiff claimed Senate seats in Maryland and California. In Florida, measures to overturn a 6-week abortion ban and legalize marijuana failed due to a high 60% threshold, though both had majority support.

Elon Musk faces a lawsuit over his $1 million giveaway, and in the Middle East, Hamas rejected a ceasefire proposal as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu fired his defense minister, sparking protests in Tel Aviv.
