Governor-elect Amy Acton (D-OH) says she has “no intention of speaking” to her Republican opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy, after his campaign ran a controversial ad that featured her estranged mother: “Leaders’ words matter and we need to hold folks accountable.”
First on CBS Mornings, Governor-elect Acton also shares about her mission to bring “public service, unity and decency” to her state and her position on AI data centers: “We’re open for business, but we’re not for sale and we’re not to be exploited.”

We are announcing the winner of Boston Logan International Airport’s search for one lucky Bostonian to be the new “voice of Logan.”
“I’m sure there’s going to be some surprised faces walking and hearing my voice — I’ll probably be one of them,” winner Chris Donisi tells CBS Mornings.
Notable: Mexican President @Claudiashein on Wednesday congratulated @XavierBecerra and @GinaHinojosaTX for being elected governor of California and Texas, respectively, noting both are Mexican-American. Says she hopes to work with both on economic and security issues.

There will be at least 18 new senators next Congress, possibly as many as 20 depending on Alaska & Mississippi. So as much as one-fifth of the Senate will be new.
Plus Senate is losing many of its most senior senators - McConnell, Collins, Durbin, Cornyn, Klobuchar

Democrats pulled off projected wins unthinkable for decades, in states like Texas, Kansas, Maine and South Carolina — but what will the party do next?
@nancycordes and @edokeefe report on the size and scope of the Democrats’ victory.
Gotta say, @EliseStefanik @Sen_JoeManchin and @JasmineForUS were legit value-adds to @cbsnews election night coverage. Players coming off or recently departed from the field with unvarnished perspective and real talk about what’s ahead in Washington.
Last night, I shared my thoughts on @CBSNews on the redistricting strategic error that backfired and led to significant net losses of Republican seats and widened the playing field.
Having successfully fought back a Democrat attempted NY gerrymander two cycles ago, voters want fair districts.

Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith is in an unexpectedly close fight to keep her Senate seat. She and Democrat Scott Colom are neck-and-neck in Mississippi, with nearly all of the votes in. CBS News' @EdOKeefe breaks down the numbers. cbsn.ws/4AeufI8

CBS News rates the Texas Senate and gubernatorial races as "Lean Democrat." Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico is "doing really well" in key North Texas counties, @edokeefe reports, and the gubernatorial candidates are "essentially matching each other."
EARLY SIGN OF DEMOCRATIC GAINS: where could we see Democrats doing well early in the night? Here’s what we looked at on the @CBSEveningNews

Some of the early results could provide an indication of what to expect as polls close. CBS News’ @EdOKeefe has a look at what House races to watch out for.
