The Hill reported that Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) is forecasting that Senate races in Texas, Alaska and Maine will flip toward Democrats on Tuesday, a shift the outlet said would put the party in a "prime position" to win back the upper chamber. The report, written by Caroline Vakil, is available through The Hill's report on the DDHQ Senate forecast.
According to The Hill, DDHQ gives Democrat James Talarico a 61 percent chance of winning in Texas and Democrat Mary Peltola a 61 percent chance of winning in Alaska. The summary of the report ends partway through its discussion of the figures, so it does not give a percentage for the Maine race.
CBS News, in a video segment on its website, said Alaska's Senate race has drawn attention because Democrat Mary Peltola and "two Dan Sullivans" are on the ballot. The segment's summary does not explain that reference.
CBS News also said that Texas is typically Republican and that Republican Ken Paxton is running against Democrat James Talarico there. The summary names Fin Gómez of CBS News as the person with more on the races.
The two reports differ in form and content. The Hill's piece, as summarized, gives DDHQ's forecast probabilities for two of the races. The CBS summary includes no probabilities and does not say how either race is expected to turn out.
Neither summary reports a vote count or a final result. The Hill describes its findings as forecasts that the races will flip, and the CBS summary describes the Alaska and Texas contests without stating an outcome. Readers seeking results will need later reporting, since neither source covers the outcome.
