(D) Key Race Projected
Big news: ABC News is reporting that Democratic incumbent Mark Kelly is projected to win Arizona’s U.S. Senate race. Maricopa County just reported about 74,000 ballots, and they split for Kelly 40,719 votes to 32,318. That stretched Kelly’s statewide lead to 52 percent to 46 percent — too much for Masters to overcome, given what’s left.
That brings Democrats to 49 seats in the next U.S. Senate. They could clinch a majority if one more seat — i.e., Nevada — is projected for them. That could happen as soon as this weekend.
