US midterms 2026: What key races remain undecided?
(opens the publisher’s site)Democrats have secured control of both chambers of Congress in the 2026 midterms, while several Senate and gubernatorial races remain too close to call.
- In Mississippi, Democrat Scott Colom leads Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith by 43 votes, with roughly 15,000 provisional ballots pending verification.
- Mary Peltola holds a 626-vote lead over Dan Sullivan in Alaska's Senate race, with ranked-choice voting required if neither candidate exceeds 50 percent.
- Kansas Democrat Cindy Holscher leads Republican Ty Masterson by 5,557 votes for governor, and Alaska's gubernatorial race also remains uncalled.
- Colom said he expects to win "once the process plays out"; Hyde-Smith's campaign manager Jake Monssen expressed confidence in her reelection.
