The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan and Democratic former Rep. Mary Peltola advanced from Alaska’s nonpartisan U.S. Senate primary, making them the leading contenders for Sullivan’s seat in the November general election. With nearly 90% of votes counted, Peltola had more than 48% support, while Sullivan had 42.8% in earlier returns with 80% counted. The race is central to Senate control calculations because Democrats are trying to net four seats, and Alaska has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 2008.
