BNews Tonight, and the big call of the hour: a projection that Texas just sent a Democrat to the US Senate for the first time in thirty years.
BBNO News posted on X that James Talarico beat Ken Paxton. We had this one too close to call earlier.
BRight, this is the update: Decision Desk says Talarico wins. Big, if it holds.
BBut keep one eye on New Jersey's twelfth district.
BAl Jazeera English posted on X that Adam Hamawy, a Gaza volunteer surgeon, won that House seat. No independent confirmation yet.
BIf that's real, it's a huge story. A political newcomer, a doctor, winning that district.
BIt's a claim right now. And that race hasn't been confirmed by any other outlet I trust yet.
BYou keep saying unconfirmed—fine. But that's how election night works. You follow claims, then confirm.
BNo, we follow returns, not unsourced projections. That's the point.
BOkay, but when the same process has called Texas? You're fine with it.
BDecision Desk is a real call. Al Jazeera's post is thinner. That's the difference.
BSo now you're the arbiter of which projection is grown-up enough.
BI'm the one keeping us from saying a guy won when he hasn't.
BFair. But keep watching that one. A doctor straight out of Gaza into Congress? That would be a story.
BMeanwhile, a post from Mad Milker on X says Mark Carney is fine waiting for a new US president rather than take a bad trade deal.
BCarney says Canada has options. That's a leader with a weak hand, talking big.
BCanada depends on US buyers. Waiting isn't leverage, it's hope.
BUnless he really can redirect oil, aluminum, cars. That's the bet.
BA risky bet with a new administration that might just wait longer.
BOr they both blink. Trade talks are theater.
