Florida Dem freshman keeps seat

 Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Fla.) beat back a GOP challenger in a close House race.

The Associated Press called the race in Florida’s 18th District in favor of the freshman lawmaker, who had faced a challenge from former state lawmaker Carl Domino. Republicans had eyed the seat as a potential pickup if the GOP had a strong showing nationwide.

Murphy came to Congress in 2012 after defeating the outspoken Allen West for the seat.
