Maya The big headline this hour: Democrats have now crossed the 51 seats needed for control of the Senate.

Daniel That's right, Maya. Our board shows Democrats at 54 seats, Republicans at 44, with two seats still not projected by any network.

Maya Even with control settled, there are governor's races still agonizingly close tonight. Daniel, start us in Kansas.

Daniel Kansas Governor is too close to call. Cindy Holscher leads Ty Masterson 50.3 percent to 49.7 percent, with 100 percent reporting.

Maya And up in Alaska, remember that's ranked-choice voting, so these are first-choice numbers only.

Daniel Mary Peltola leads Dan Sullivan 48.2 percent to 47.9 percent in first-choice votes, with 74 percent reporting. Too close to call.

Maya Down in Mississippi, another nail-biter on the Senate side.

Daniel Scott Colom leads Cindy Hyde-Smith 49 percent to 48.9 percent, with 98 percent reporting. Still too close to call.

Maya Daniel, how did Crosstab's polling average hold up in Texas and Florida tonight?

Daniel Crosstab's final polling average had Talarico up 3.7 in Texas Senate, the result is running at a 9.9 point margin. In Florida Senate, our average had Moody up 5.2, the result is tighter, at 3 points.

Maya A reminder, Crosstab puts data ahead of politics. We show you the odds, never a guarantee.
