So far on Election Night 2022, the Republican Party has cashed in on the predictions that there would be a red wave in the midterms, with candidates across the country garnering wins, including several races in Georgia and Florida, among others (like a surprise win in Guam). Expect more victories to be on their way, throughout the night.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, a member of the so-called “Squad,” will return to Congress for the 5th congressional district, according to Decision Desk.

There were also two of them from New York — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won another term for the 14th congressional district seat, and Sen. Chuck Schumer also won reelection to what will be his fifth term in the U.S. Senate.
