Elizabeth Warren pulled off a win in the Massachusetts U.S. Senate race Tuesday night, but a "rogue tweet" falsely claimed NBC News had called the race about an hour before the official projection was made at 9:45 p.m.
At 8:51 p.m. Tuesday night, a tweet from the Center for American Progress Action Fund — a sister organization to the Center for American Progress — read, "NBC news is calling #MA Senate race for Elizabeth Warren (D)." The tweet, now deleted, spread from there.
