In North Carolina, Democratic Senate candidate Cal Cunningham has conceded to incumbent Senator Thom Tillis. The Republican’s victory guarantees the GOP will control at least 49 Senate seats — two shy of a majority. In Alaska, Republican Senator Dan Sullivan has a big early lead over Democratic challenger Al Gross, whose campaign believes he still has a chance at an upset victory once all mail-in votes are counted. Either way, the balance of power in the Senate will be decided by runoff elections on January 5 for both of Georgia’s Senate seats.
