Mary Peltola gained about 5,000 newly counted votes on 12 November 2026 and extended her lead over Senator Dan Sullivan in the last uncalled Senate race of 2026, which will go to a ranked choice tabulation on 18 November if no candidate tops 50 percent. Peltola's campaign posted on X that her victory is "all but guaranteed," while Decision Desk HQ, which has yet to call the race, reports more than 83 percent of the anticipated vote is counted and she has led since Election Day; the race has also drawn controversy, including a dismissed Trump administration lawsuit over the same-named candidate Dan J. Sullivan Jr.
