Republican National Committee Election Night News Conference  ...back >
Nov. 4, 2014 -- RNC chairman Reince Preibus, joined by the chairs of the NRCC and NRSC, held an Election Night news conference.  Preibus stated:

"We feel pretty good right now.  It's been a good night so far.  We are excited about Cory Gardner coming in and a lot of House races coming in.  We feel like getting to six tonight is clearly, clearly in the view and we couldn't be happier with what's happening around the country.  We feel good about where our candidates were at—recruited, I think, stellar candidates across the country.  Our governors are winning.  It looks like Scott Walker's up, Rick Scott is up, and a lot of other governors are yet to come in.  It's early, we understand that, and a lot of our most important races are out west, in Iowa, Colorado, Alaska and Louisiana looks like it's going to a runoff.  So we're happy with where we're at and we're excited about what tonight is going to bring for the Republican Party."
NRCC Chair Rep. Greg Walden (OR).
NRSC Chair Jerry Moran (KS).

A monitor showed CNN election night coverage before the news conference.
One of the most surprising results was the Virginia Senate race, where challenger Ed Gillespie (R) was ahead of Sen. Mark Warner (D) for much of the night.
