Senate Control Decided, Key Races Still Counting

Transcript

Maya It is 5:01 PM Eastern, and the biggest story of the night just broke: control of the Senate has been decided.

Daniel That is right, Maya. CBS News, Fox News, NBC News, ABC News and CNN all project Democrats control the Senate, with Democrats at 54 seats and Republicans at 44. Two seats are not yet projected.

Maya With that settled, let's turn to some of the other races we're watching tonight, starting in Kansas.

Daniel In the Kansas governor's race, Cindy Holscher leads Ty Masterson 50.3 percent to 49.7 percent, with 100 percent reporting. No outlet has projected a winner, so that one remains too close to call.

Maya Up to Alaska now, and a reminder: Alaska uses ranked-choice voting, so these are first-choice numbers only.

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

Maya And the Alaska governor's race is also still unresolved.

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

Maya Out in Guam, the governor's race has finished counting.

Daniel Vicente Ada leads Therese Maria Terlaje 51.5 percent to 48.2 percent, with 100 percent reporting, though no projection has been made there yet.

Maya And one more to watch tonight, Mississippi's Senate race.

Daniel Scott Colom leads Cindy Hyde-Smith 49.1 percent to 48.9 percent, with 98 percent reporting. Still too close to call.
