5:00pm central time:  the Associated Press and NBC have called the Mississippi Senate race for Scott Colom.  It looks like Democrats (no doubt including some “blue dogs” along with many not quite so regressive folks) will have at least 55 Senate seats.

That leaves Alaska still outstanding.  That’s a lot more complicated and will almost certainly trigger a ranked-choice runoff.  Stay tuned…

The “other Sullivan” in Alaska has only 1.7% of the vote, not enough for the incumbent Sullivan to overtake Peltola.
