Republican Nino Mangione narrowly led Democrat Shawn McIntosh in the race for Baltimore County Council’s District 5, receiving about 49% of the vote to McIntosh’s 45%. Several outlets reported Mangione’s victory, but results remained unofficial as additional mail ballots were counted, and McIntosh had not conceded. Mangione, a former Maryland delegate who joined the council earlier this year to fill a vacancy, campaigned on public safety, support for law enforcement and tougher penalties for repeat offenders. His election drew attention because he is the cousin of Luigi Mangione, who pleaded guilty in federal court to killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and faces a separate New York state murder case. Luigi Mangione’s lawyers have asked the state court to dismiss that case on double-jeopardy grounds.

Exit polls show that roughly six in 10 voters believe the United States made the wrong decision to go to war with Iran, and many say the conflict influenced their midterm votes. Still, cost-of-living concerns and government corruption ranked as stronger motivations, while high gas prices and broader economic dissatisfaction also weighed heavily on voters.

Democrats Win Control of House and Senate

Final polls point to a Democratic surge ahead of the 2026 midterms, with the party leading in several key Senate races—including traditionally Republican states—and analysts projecting a gain of 12 to 25 House seats. President Trump has campaigned in red states to boost Republican turnout as control of both chambers appears at risk.
