Mississippi and Alaska Senate races remain undecided as Democrats hold 54-seat majority

Two U.S. Senate races in Mississippi and Alaska remain uncalled nearly a week after Election Day, with Democrats holding a 54-44 majority in the chamber. In Mississippi, Democrat Scott Colom leads incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith by a razor-thin margin, while in Alaska, Democrat Mary Peltola edges out Dan Sullivan. Both races hinge on outstanding ballots and complex counting procedures, potentially widening the Democratic advantage in the final two years of President Trump’s term.

In the House, 35 races are still undecided, though party control is clear in most. These remaining contests will determine the exact size of the Democratic majority and the outcome of specific state leadership positions.

Midterm Counting Continues: Democrats Secure Congress, but Key Senate and House Races Remain Uncalled

Democrats have secured control of both chambers of Congress following the 2026 midterms, but several critical races remain too close to call. In the Senate, tight contests in Alaska and Mississippi could determine the final margin of the Democratic majority. In the House, Republican Lauren Boebert faces a narrow defeat in Colorado, while other red-state districts remain undecided. Additionally, California’s Proposition 40, a proposed wealth tax on billionaires, is currently trailing in early returns.
