Here is a list of trending Republican wins.
Guam:
The Red Wave Has Begun: Republicans Win Seat Held by Democrats for Nearly 30 Years. Guam’s first Republican non-voting delegate to the House of Representatives in more than 30 years was elected this year.

NBC News estimates that Republican Georgia Governor Brian Kemp will win re-election, defeating Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams.
Kemp, who defeated Abrams in 2018, is anticipated to receive more than 50% of the vote. Therefore there will be no runoff election.
Florida:
Soon after polls closed on Election Day, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis delivered a heated victory speech after achieving a decisive re-election victory.
The governor made it plain that he would maintain the policies and beliefs that have made him a national star among conservatives and a focus of political attack from the left.
We have adopted liberty. We have upheld the rule of law. We have preserved parental rights. We have high regard for our taxpayers. And we reject awakened ideology, he said to a resounding applause.
The governor pledged to a gathering of roaring supporters that we would never, ever capitulate to the woke mob.
“Florida is where woke goes to die!”
Arkansas:
Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been proclaimed the victor of the Arkansas gubernatorial election. Sanders, age forty, was press secretary for former U.S. President Donald Trump and is the daughter of Arkansas’ 44th governor, Mike Huckabee.
According to The Associated Press, she became the state’s first female governor after defeating Democrat Chris Jones. Sanders earned 60 percent of the vote compared to Jones’ 38.1 percent with 40 percent of the ballots counted.
Sanders will succeed Asa Hutchinson, a Republican governor whose term has expired and who has announced his desire to run for president.
