Live updates on undecided races
Key Points:
- Democrats achieved significant victories in the midterm elections, flipping the House, Senate, and several down-ballot races, including key governor's offices and measures protecting abortion rights.
- As of early Thursday, Democrats had flipped seven Senate seats and 32 House seats, with some races, notably in Alaska and Mississippi, still too close to call.
- President Donald Trump said he will accept the midterm results and work with Democrats but vowed to veto Democratic bills, emphasizing the presidential veto as a key power despite Congress's ability to override it.
- The midterms saw historic diversity among elected officials, including a Muslim physician, a Native American, and the first openly gay man elected to the Senate, reflecting a broad spectrum of racial, ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds.
- Close Senate races in Mississippi and Alaska remain unresolved, with Mississippi awaiting certified results and absentee ballots, and Alaska's ranked-choice voting system potentially delaying final outcomes until mid-November.
