As Nathaniel noted earlier, Pennsylvania's U.S. Senate race is coming down to the wire with some uncertainty over how many outstanding votes are still remaining. The Pennsylvania Department of State has clarified that there are at least 100,000 total ballots left to be counted.

McCormick's lead currently stands at around 33,000 votes, suggesting that — based on that outstanding vote estimate — Casey has a narrow path if he wins a little over two-thirds of the outstanding votes. And notably, this race could be headed for an automatic recount, which would be triggered under state rules if the margin of victory is 0.5% or less. McCormick is sitting just under that threshold right now.

ABC News projects that Democrat Eugene Vindman, an Army veteran and Trump whistleblower, will win the open-seat race in Virginia's 7th District, defeating Derrick Anderson. Readers may remember that Anderson, a former Army Green Beret, made news when campaign photos of him posing with his friend's wife and children emerged. The campaign didn't use the images, but there was speculation that because Anderson is single (he is now engaged), these photos were orchestrated to soften his image.

Vindman's win means Democrats will retain this blue-leaning seat currently held by Rep. Abigail Spanberger, who chose not to run in favor of running for governor in 2025.

The AP has called the Pennsylvania Senate race for Republican Dave McCormick. However, ABC News is not yet reporting a projection in the race.

As Geoffrey wrote yesterday, this seems to boil down to a question about how many ballots remain to be counted in Pennsylvania. Edison Research — from which ABC gets its election results — estimates that there are about 123,000 votes left to count in Philadelphia alone. But according to the Pennsylvania Department of State, only 99 precincts are not reporting statewide, and only 36,000 mail ballots are still uncounted (including 9,000 in Philadelphia).

McCormick currently leads Democratic Sen. Bob Casey 48.9% to 48.5%, or a margin of almost 32,000 votes.

As I wrote last week, Alaska's state House is currently controlled by a bipartisan coalition led by and made up of mostly Republicans. That coalitions seems to have lost enough members to relegate it to the minority, while the current minority coalition — which is primarily made up of Democrats — seems set to take its place.

While there are still some uncalled races left, the current minority coalition appears to have picked up at least four seats, according to the Alaska Beacon. Democrats flipped two seats, one in North Slope and one in Anchorage, while a coalition-aligned Republican and independent also won races in Anchorage. That Republican, Chuck Kopp, has already been announced as the new majority leader in the House. Two more districts currently held by members of the majority coalition, one in Southwest Alaska and another in Anchorage, could also see flips to the new primarily-Democratic coalition.

Meanwhile, the current Republican-led majority coalition has only flipped two seats so far, one in Ketchikan currently held by an independent and one in Mat-Su currently held by Republican, Dan Eastman, a hardline conservative who was not a member of the majority coalition.

In the state Senate, another bipartisan coalition made up of almost every member of the chamber seems set to maintain control. Democrats currently have one more member in that coalition than Republicans, though the Senate president is a Republican.
