PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Election results are coming in after polls in our region closed, the part we've all waited for on this Election Day 2022. Voters in our region could help shape the balance of power in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.
All 435 House seats were up for re-election Tuesday. There are a total of 31 House districts across Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware (which has just one representative in the House).
This is known as a midterm election, which takes place midway between presidential elections. The next presidential race is in 2024. This is not a primary election: a primary is where voters pick the candidate that will represent their specific party.
Pennsylvania's Election Day was closely watched around the nation, with all eyes on the race for an open Senate seat and the governor's seat.
CBS News projects Democrat John Fetterman has defeated Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz in the race to replace former U.S. Senator Pat Toomey in the Pennsylvania Senate.
Depending on the results of other close races in states such as Georgia and Arizona, the winner of this Pennsylvania race could tip the balance of power in the Senate in their party's favor.
CBS News has characterized control of the Senate as a toss-up and House control leaning Republican.
In the Pennsylvania governor's race, CBS News projects Democratic nominee Josh Shapiro, the commonwealth's attorney general, has beaten Republican Doug Mastriano, a state senator from central Pennsylvania. Mastriano is not conceding.
In Philadelphia, there are City Council seats up for a vote, and two ballot questions asking voters to change how the city functions.
And many voters will have a choice for new members of their local school boards.
