2026 Election: Key Senate races remain undecided

It's been a week since polls closed in the 2026 midterm elections, but more than a dozen national races have yet to be called. Yeah, these races won't tip the balance of power in favor of Republicans, but they will determine how big of a majority Democrats will have in the next Congress. Fox's Madeline Rivera has a closer look. The votes have been cast, but the counting continues. In Alaska's controversial Senate race, Democrat Mary Peltola leads Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan by just over 4,200 votes, but she's short of the 50 percent threshold needed to win. About 15 percent of the vote remains uncounted, and with another ballot drop days away, the state's governor thinks a winner could be declared soon. Friday is really the big day where I think all of us can look at the numbers and we can get an idea who's actually going to win this race. In Mississippi... Democrats Scott Colome leads Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith by less than 1% in the Senate race. County results are due to be certified Friday before the state finalizes the count. If Democrats hold their leads in Mississippi and Alaska, it would give them 56 seats in the Senate next year. We are on the verge. Of the single largest landslide for Senate Democrats since the 50s. The Senate may be getting all the attention, but about a dozen House races remain undecided, including four in North Carolina, where Republican incumbents are at risk. Democrats are already heading into next Congress with at least an 88 seat advantage. And these final races could widen their majority, making it easier to advance their agenda. Democrats are going to focus. On affordability, accountability, and a return to American values. House Republicans will hold each and every Democrat accountable for every vote cast. Governors races in Alaska and Kansas also remain undecided, with Democrats leading in both.
