Boebert, billionaires' tax and other midterms races still to watch

Key Points:

• Democrats have achieved sweeping midterm victories, flipping control of both chambers of Congress, but several key races in Alaska, Mississippi, and various House districts remain too close to call as votes continue to be counted.
• In Mississippi, Democrat Scott Colom leads incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith by just over 1,100 votes, with the state having until November 10 to count provisional and late mail ballots; a Colom win would make him the first Black senator from Mississippi since 1875 and the first Democrat since 1982.
• Alaska's Senate race is extremely tight, with Democrat Mary Peltola narrowly ahead of Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan by about 600 votes amid controversy involving a similarly named independent candidate allegedly recruited to confuse voters, which Peltola denies.
• Several House races remain undecided, including Trump ally Lauren Boebert trailing Democrat Eileen Laubacher in Colorado, with potential losses for Republicans in multiple districts possibly expanding the Democratic majority and signaling a rejection of Trump’s political movement.
• California’s Proposition 40, proposing a one-time 5% wealth tax on billionaires to fund healthcare and education, is currently trailing in votes and has divided Democrats, including Governor Gavin Newsom who opposes the measure.
