Senate Control Confirmed, Count Continues

Transcript

Maya The big headline this hour: control of the Senate. CBS News, Fox News, NBC News, ABC News and CNN all project Democrats will hold the majority.

Daniel The numbers back it up, Maya. Democrats at 54 seats, Republicans at 44, with two races still not yet projected. Democrats needed 51, Republicans needed 50.

Maya And the House has also been called. CNN, CBS News, ABC News and NBC News all project Democrats take control there as well.

Daniel So with both chambers projected, the story now is which individual races are still finishing their count.

Maya Let's go to Kansas, one of the races we're watching tonight. Cindy Holscher leads Ty Masterson in the governor's race.

Daniel Holscher at 50.3 percent, Masterson at 49.7, and that race is fully counted at 100 percent reporting. No network has projected a winner there.

Maya Up in Alaska, remember this is ranked-choice voting, so what we show first are first-choice votes only.

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

Maya And one more to watch, Mississippi's Senate race, where the margin is even tighter.

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

Maya Daniel, how did Crosstab's polling averages hold up against results coming in tonight?

Daniel Mixed night for the averages. In Texas, Crosstab's final polling average had tighter margins than the actual results in both the governor's and Senate races. Florida Senate ran closer than Crosstab's average suggested.

Maya Stay with us. Crosstab Live continues all night.
