Detroit Mayor Dave Bing says Virg Benero is 'very upbeat' as the results come in

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing just made an appearance at the MGM Grand in Detroit, where Democratic supporters are waiting for tonight's election results.

Bing told the crowd he didn't want anybody "to jump to conclusions." He added that he's been upstairs with Democratic candidate for governor Virg Bernero for the last hour or so, and he says Bernero "is very upbeat."

Bing says Bernero will come down to talk to supporters in the next 45 minutes or so.
