Overview
- Unofficial results reported early Tuesday show Democrat Alicia Limtiaco defeating Republican incumbent James Moylan by about 662 votes in the island’s U.S. House delegate race.
- The governor’s office flipped to Republican Tony Ada in unofficial counts that gave him roughly a 1,000-vote margin over Democrat Therese Terlaje.
- Reported tallies also give Republicans a one-vote majority in Guam’s unicameral legislature, though all outcomes remain uncertified pending the Guam Election Commission.
- President Trump publicly congratulated Ada on social media within hours of the reported results, and national commentators treated Guam’s early finish as an early indicator of midterm trends.
- Guam’s delegate can sponsor bills and vote in House committees but cannot vote on final passage, so the reported flip has limited immediate effect on which party controls the full House.
