"The 2018 midterm is shaping up to be one of the most important off-year elections in recent history, and we'll be focused on keeping viewers informed of not only the results, but the motivation behind the votes and how this election will impact Americans' lives," said Mary Hager, executive producer of CBS News' midterm election night 2018 coverage and FACE THE NATION. "CBS News has the unique ability to offer a full menu of options across our news platforms - whether you follow CBS News on television, radio or on our digital platforms, CBSNews.com and our streaming network, CBSN, our viewers will have access to up-to-the minute election results and analysis, no matter where they are."

CBS THIS MORNING co-hosts Norah O'Donnell, Gayle King, John Dickerson, Bianna Golodryga and CBS EVENING NEWS anchor Jeff Glor will lead the Network's comprehensive coverage from Campaign 2018 headquarters at Studio 57 at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York.

The CBS News Decision Desk will make projections throughout the night.

The CBS News congressional desk will be led by chief congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes and political correspondent Ed O'Keefe. CBS THIS MORNING SATURDAY co-host Anthony Mason will provide analysis of CBS News exit polls from across the country.
