Tonight decides five Senate seats. Donald Trump won four of them by 13 points or more, and his candidates trail in four and sit within a point in the fifth.
Darline Graham's count comes in first. She holds the seat because Trump named her on Truth Social in July and Gov. Henry McMaster appointed her within hours. Trafalgar's last poll had her two points up in a state Trump won by 18.
Sherrod Brown's Ohio closes at 7:30. Brown led Sen. Jon Husted by two in Trafalgar's Monday poll, and Amy Acton faces Vivek Ramaswamy for governor.
At 8 three seats close at once. Roger Marshall trails in every final Kansas poll; James Talarico leads Ken Paxton in every final poll but Trafalgar's tie, after a Russian-network deepfake posted the day after Texas early voting opened. Susan Collins trails in every final poll in a state Kamala Harris won, and Maine counts by ranked choice, so a close race waits. Pennsylvania's 1st and 8th tell the House early; New York's 17th waits on Westchester's scanners.
Alaska closes at midnight Eastern and then goes quiet. Sen. Dan Sullivan sits 50-50 with Mary Peltola in InsiderAdvantage's weekend poll. Ballots postmarked by today arrive for up to 15 days, and state election officials run the ranked-choice count on Nov. 18. On Oct. 22 the Justice Department sued to bar certification if Sullivan loses; Judge Sharon Gleason threw the suit out Sunday, and the department's appeal sits at the Ninth Circuit. If the Senate comes down to Alaska, nobody will know for two weeks who runs it.
Traders on Polymarket priced Democrats at 76.5% for the Senate on Monday night; traders bet, they do not call races.
