The Associated Press called Florida’s 9th Congressional District race for Democratic Rep. Darren Soto about a week after Election Day, Roll Call reports. Soto led Republican Navy veteran Dan Green by less than a point, a margin above the 0.5 percent threshold that triggers a recount under state law. Decision Desk HQ had projected Soto’s win on Tuesday, according to The Hill. The Washington Post reports that Soto narrowly won reelection. Soto is seeking a sixth term in a district Florida Republicans redrew this year in the GOP’s favor. Roll Call also reports that no House Democratic incumbent lost to a Republican in the general election this year.

    The Washington Post headline states the narrow win as fact without naming who made the call, and its description reads as a live results prompt.
