Alaska's 2024 Election: Early Results Show Tight Races

Republican Nick Begich III leads incumbent Democrat Mary Peltola by 5 percentage points in the race for Alaska's U.S. House seat, with 73% of precincts reporting. Begich, endorsed by Donald Trump, aims to bring Alaska's voice to Washington, D.C. The race, a key battleground, has seen significant spending from political groups. If no candidate secures over 50% of the vote, ranked choice tabulation will determine the winner on November 20. Peltola, the first Alaska Native elected to Congress, urges patience as final results are awaited.
