ELECTION NIGHT UPDATE

Transcript

Maya Good evening, it's 9:02 Eastern and the biggest story of the night is control of the Senate itself. Daniel, what do we know.

Daniel CBS News, Fox News, NBC News, ABC News and CNN all project Democrats will hold the Senate majority, with 54 seats to 44 for Republicans and two races not yet projected. Democrats needed 51, Republicans needed 50.

Maya Let's move to a few races still finishing their count. Daniel, start us 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. That race has not been called by any network, so it remains too close to call.

Maya Now to Alaska, where the Senate race is in the count.

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

Maya And the Alaska Governor's race as well.

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

Maya Over to Mississippi, where the Senate race is down to the wire.

Daniel Scott Colom leads Cindy Hyde-Smith 49.1 percent to 48.9 percent, with 98 percent reporting. No projection yet, so this one stays too close to call.

Maya And in Guam, the Governor's race.

Daniel Vicente Ada leads Therese Terlaje 51.5 percent to 48.2 percent, with 100 percent reporting. That race has not yet been projected either.

Maya Let's check the polls against the results so far.

Daniel In Texas, Crosstab's final polling average had Abbott up 2.4 points, but Gina Hinojosa leads by 7.1 with 99 percent reporting. In Florida Senate, Crosstab's final polling average had Moody up 5.2, and Ashley Moody currently leads by 2.9 with 100 percent reporting.

Maya We'll keep tracking every one of these counts as the night goes on. Stay with us. Crosstab Live continues all night.
