Senate Secured, Razor Races Remain

Transcript

Maya The headline this hour: Democrats have reached the 54 seats they need, clearing the 51 required for Senate control.

Daniel That's 54 Democrats to 44 Republicans, with 2 seats not yet projected. Democrats needed 51, Republicans needed 50 — the majority is Democrats'.

Maya But plenty is still too close to call. Let's start in Kansas, for governor.

Daniel Cindy Holscher leads Ty Masterson 50.3 to 49.7 percent, with 100 percent reporting. That margin is razor-thin — too close to call.

Maya Up to Alaska now, where remember — these are first-choice votes under ranked-choice voting.

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

Maya And the Alaska governor's race.

Daniel Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins leads Bernadette Wilson 49.1 to 29.2 percent in first-choice votes, 73 percent reporting.

Maya One more nail-biter — Mississippi's Senate race.

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

Maya Quick polling check — how did Crosstab's averages hold up tonight?
