Democrat Tony Evers has won in Wisconsin’s election for governor, according to Decision Desk HQ, and confirmed by multiple sources.

Evers’ narrow victory comes on the same night that Republican Ron Johnson won re-election to the U.S. Senate, securing the seat and keeping Democrats from earning a majority in the chamber. Evers did give a brief statement on Twitter after the race was called.

The Democrats overall had a better night than expected across the country, which candidates like Evers benefitted from.
