What Races the AP Has Not yet Called in Contests for Senate and Governor – WTOP News

Vote counting is still underway as narrow margins and Alaska’s ranked-choice rules keep several Senate, governor and House races unresolved.

  • As of Thursday, The Associated Press has not yet called several major midterm contests, including Senate races in Mississippi and Alaska, and the gubernatorial race in Kansas.
  • Historic victories in Texas and Ohio helped Democrats secure control of both chambers of Congress, while Republicans faced what Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz termed a 'Watergate-level repudiation'.
  • In Mississippi, Democrat Scott Colom leads GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith by 1,145 votes with 96% counted, while Democrat Cindy Holscher holds a 7,045-vote lead over Republican Ty Masterson in Kansas with 99% of ballots processed.
  • Alaska's Senate race remains tight, with Democrat Mary Peltola leading Republican Dan Sullivan by 637 votes at 74% reporting; the state's ranked-choice system may delay final results for weeks as outstanding mail ballots arrive.
  • Democratic House Whip Katherine Clark confirmed plans to run for majority leader, while Cruz blamed the party's losses on a failure to address the high cost of living.
