Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly was projected to win a full term representing Arizona in the US Senate, beating back a challenge from Republican Blake Masters.
Kelly’s win, called Friday night by several outlets, represented a giant step forward for Democrats in their quest to keep control of the Senate. The chamber currently has 49 Republicans and 49 Democrats. One race, in Nevada, remains uncalled, while a second race, in Georgia, will be settled in a Dec. 6 runoff between Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker.
Kelly’s lead over Masters grew to over 5 percentage points Friday night, ahead by about 120,000 votes, with 85% of ballots counted, when the race was called.
