Begich advances in Alaska Senate race as other primaries unfold

In Alaska, Republican Rep. Nick Begich advanced from the Senate primary to the general alongside independent Bill Hill; incumbent Dan Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola continue to lead the Senate race, while Democrats Kreiss-Tomkins and Tom Begich progressed in the governor’s race. Absentee ballots postmarked by election day are still being counted, and Alaska’s ranked-choice voting system could influence the final outcome.
