ALASKA UPDATE: After a significant number of votes have been counted, Peltola has increased her lead to 48.9-47.2.

She's gained 0.7 points in the last 10% of ballots.

Joni Ernst says senators have “serious questions” about Pete Hegseth and whether he is being honest about the Iran war:

“If there is deception coming from our Pentagon and being transmitted to the president, I would want to know that.”
