Alaska Democrat Mary Peltola nears 50%, declares victory in Senate race
Mary Peltola declared victory in Alaska's Senate race early Saturday, leading Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan 49.8% to 46% with 96% of the vote counted, though she remains just shy of the majority needed to avoid a ranked-choice runoff. The Post also reports Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins won the governor's race with Lisa Murkowski's endorsement, becoming Alaska's first Democratic governor since 1998, while Trump called the race 'over' for Sullivan and demanded votes from minor candidates go to him.
