Kamala Harris asks Trump to concede the election
Fox News' Peter Doocy provides details on Vice President Harris' call to President-elect Trump, where she acknowledged her defeat and confirmed she will vote to certify his victory.
Democratic Rep. Emilia Sykes is expected to survive her closely watched re-election bid by defeating her Republican rival.
The Associated Press called the race for Ohio's 13th Congressional District for Sykes over former Ohio State Senator Kevin Coughlin on Wednesday, shortly before 3 p.m. ET.
Sykes, a first-term Democrat who won in 2022 by five points, was defending her seat in a district that includes parts of two counties that former President Trump won handily in 2020.
“This is a 50/50 district,” Sykes said. “It has been rated as such across the country and all eyes are on Ohio's 13th Congressional District.”

Sykes comes from a well-established political family in Akron. His parents were state legislators and his father, Vernon Sykes, currently serves as a state senator in Ohio.

Coughlin has served Ohio as a state representative and state senator and has spent more than 10 years since leaving office in the business sector.
Sykes' campaign criticized Coughlin for his time as a lobbyist and accused him of being a “selfish politician” who would legislate extremes on the abortion issue.
Coughlin has accused Sykes of not living in the district, a charge she denies, and the Summit County Board of Elections recently reached a partisan stalemate investigating a complaint about her residency and voting status.

Ohio's 13th District was a race that Republicans had focused time and money on after identifying it as one of their best opportunities to flip a seat and maintain control of the House.
