As the US heads to the polls for congressional midterm elections, on the autonomous island of Guam, a territory of the country, Republicans finished ahead in the gubernatorial race, while Democrats finished ahead in the race for the non-voting delegate seat in the US House of Representatives. US President Donald Trump, celebrating Republican candidate Tony Ada's lead in the gubernatorial election, said, "I hope this is a sign of the days ahead."
As midterm elections continue in the US, unofficial results from Guam indicated that two key political offices on the island will go to different parties. Republicans pulled ahead in the gubernatorial race, while Democrats gained the advantage in winning the delegate seat in the US House of Representatives.

Trump said, 'In Guam, which has always been considered a place where Democrats are strong, the Republicans' victory in the gubernatorial race was declared early. I congratulate Tony Ada!'
Also mentioning that Republicans secured a majority in the Guam Legislature, Trump said, 'Republicans also secured a majority in the Senate. Wow! I hope this is a sign of the days to come.'
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE AHEAD BY 1,020 VOTES According to unofficial election results reported by the Guam Daily Post, Republican gubernatorial candidate Tony Ada and his running mate E.J. Calvo pulled ahead of Democratic opponents Therese Terlaje and Sabina Perez by 1,020 votes.

Tony Ada (Left) and E.J. Calvo (Right) DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE AHEAD IN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES RACE In the election to determine Guam's non-voting delegate in the US House of Representatives, Democratic candidate Alicia Anne Garrido Limtiaco pulled ahead.
Limtiaco, Guam's former attorney general, received 15,645 votes to reach 51 percent, while Republican incumbent delegate James Moylan remained at 48.84 percent with 14,983 votes.
In the election, in which 30,677 valid votes were cast, a difference of 662 votes emerged between the two candidates, while 79 overvotes and 658 undervotes were recorded as invalid.
It was stated that the election results in Guam have not yet been finalized and that official results will be announced after approval by the Guam Election Commission.
Alicia Anne Garrido Limtiaco RESULT DOES NOT CHANGE BALANCE IN CONGRESS Guam, with a population of approximately 170,000, is a US territory but is not among the country's 50 states. The island's people can elect a delegate to the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of Congress. However, this delegate, who can serve on committees and participate in legislative work, cannot vote in final votes in the full chamber. Therefore, the outcome of the delegate race does not affect the balance of seats between Republicans and Democrats in Congress. US citizens residing in Guam also do not have the right to vote directly in presidential elections.
