ELECTION NIGHT UPDATE

Transcript

Maya Good evening, it's 5:50 Eastern. The headline this hour: Democrats will hold the Senate, with multiple networks now in agreement.

Daniel That's right, Maya. CBS News, Fox News, NBC News, ABC News and CNN all project Democrats control the Senate. Right now it stands at 54 Democrats, 44 Republicans, with two seats not yet projected. Democrats needed 51, Republicans needed 50.

Maya Sixty-seven races projected tonight so far. Let's look at the ones still tight. Kansas Governor is fully reported.

Daniel Cindy Holscher leads Ty Masterson 50.3 to 49.7 percent with 100 percent reporting. That's within a point.

Maya Now to Alaska, where the Senate race is still unfolding.

Daniel Remember, Alaska uses ranked-choice voting, so these are first-choice votes only. Mary Peltola leads Dan Sullivan 48.2 to 47.9 percent with 74 percent reporting.

Maya And the Alaska Governor's race.

Daniel Again, first-choice votes under ranked-choice voting. Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins leads Bernadette Wilson 49.1 to 29.2 percent with 73 percent reporting.

Maya Over in Guam, the Governor's race is fully counted.

Daniel Vicente Ada leads Therese Terlaje 51.5 to 48.2 percent with 100 percent reporting.

Maya And one more down the stretch, Mississippi Senate.

Daniel Scott Colom leads Cindy Hyde-Smith 49.1 to 48.9 percent with 98 percent reporting. Very tight, still counting.
