senate dashed offer the past couple days when candidates in arizona on nevada lost. it s still possible that herschel walker could win in georgia incumbent warnock january 6th in run off election. 50/50. that would be control for democrats because a split senate has vice president kamala harris break that tiebreaking vote. if we look at the governor s races now. over the weekend, there was a win for republicans, this is the only pickup that they saw, and that is republican joe lombardo has defeated steve sisolak in nevada. a couple of other races, a couple of other states too close to call. let s go all the way out to alaska. this has not been called as of yet. but incumbent republican mike dunleavy has a solid lead over democrat less gear raft. now in arizona, let s take a look at arizona, we are still waiting on maricopa county vote to come in. katie hobbs the democrat has a narrow read over republican kari
