Deb Haaland's projected victory in New Mexico gives MS NOW's election-night coverage a milestone beyond the shift in congressional control. Announcing the Associated Press call, Rachel Maddow says Haaland will become the nation's first Native American governor.

The segment opens with MS NOW projecting that Democrats will win at least 245 House seats. Its race-by-race announcements then put names to that majority: Bobby Pulido defeating Republican incumbent Monica De La Cruz in Texas, Mitchell Berman defeating Bryan Steil in Wisconsin, and Rebecca Cooke defeating Derrick Van Orden in another Wisconsin district.

Not every call goes Democrats' way. The roundup also includes Republican gubernatorial victories for Phil Scott in Vermont, Alan Wilson in South Carolina, Brad Little in Idaho, Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire and Marsha Blackburn in Tennessee.

Those projections follow Katy Tur's broader interpretation of the results. "It's a revolt against Donald Trump, not just his policies, but himself," she says, arguing that voters are rejecting cruelty and political chaos. Her conclusion, "This may be the end of the Trump era," is the panelist's assessment, rather than something an election call can establish.

The segment drew about 1.3 million views since yesterday, bringing Haaland's breakthrough and the individual House flips to a large audience alongside the panel's political verdict.
