Two Senate races in Alaska and Mississippi remain unresolved as vote counts continue, with Democrats mounting challenges that could affect the balance of power in the upper chamber. Both outlets report that the contests are still too close to call, and that counting is ongoing.
The broader context differs slightly in emphasis. The Washington Examiner frames the races as part of continuing uncertainty after Democrats’ sweeping victories in the preceding midterm elections, including control of both the House and Senate. CBS News instead focuses more directly on the current status of the two toss-up races as of Wednesday morning, highlighting an in-progress update from its elections and surveys team.
Taken together, the coverage agrees on the core facts: Alaska and Mississippi are the remaining close Senate contests, and outcomes depend on continuing counts. The differences lie mainly in framing—either situating the races within a larger shift in congressional control or treating them as the immediate uncertainty to watch.
