Election Night Update

Transcript

Maya Good evening, it is five thirty five Eastern, and the biggest story right now is the Senate. Democrats have secured control, called by CBS News, Fox News, NBC News, ABC News and CNN.

Daniel That puts Democrats at fifty four seats, Republicans at forty four, with two races still not projected. Democrats needed fifty one, Republicans needed fifty, and this one is now decided.

Maya House control has also been called, by CNN, CBS News, ABC News and NBC News, all for Democrats. Let's turn to the races to watch tonight.

Daniel In Kansas, Cindy Holscher leads Ty Masterson fifty point three to forty nine point seven, with one hundred percent reporting. That race remains too close to call.

Maya Alaska uses ranked choice voting, so these are first choice votes only. Mary Peltola leads Dan Sullivan forty eight point two to forty seven point nine, with seventy four percent reporting.

Daniel Also in Alaska, first choice votes again, Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins leads Bernadette Wilson forty nine point one to twenty nine point two, with seventy three percent reporting.

Maya In Guam, Vicente Ada leads Therese Terlaje fifty one point five to forty eight point two, with one hundred percent reporting.

Daniel And in Mississippi, Scott Colom leads Cindy Hyde-Smith forty nine point one to forty eight point nine, with ninety eight percent reporting. Still too close to call.

Maya Let's check how Crosstab's polling averages held up against the actual results.

Daniel In Texas, Crosstab's final polling average showed a tighter race than the results delivered, both for Governor and Senate. In Florida, the final margins were closer than Crosstab's average suggested, in both the Governor and Senate contests.

Maya We will keep tracking every one of these counts as the numbers come in. Stay with us. Crosstab Live continues all night.
