Key races to watch across US on Election Day

Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan faced Democrat Mary Peltola and an independent also named Dan Sullivan. That unusual ballot detail closes out Chenue Her's national Senate rundown for FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul, a brief Election Day preview that reached far beyond the channel's usual audience for short videos.

"Key races to watch across US on Election Day" drew about 188,000 views in its first 12 hours, already many times the channel's typical full-day audience for the same format. It is a preview recorded as polls opened, rather than a report of the results.

Her starts closer to the station's Twin Cities home, outlining Wisconsin constitutional amendments concerning veto powers, restrictions on worship during emergencies and affirmative action bans. The segment then turns to Texas, where Republican Ken Paxton faced Democrat James Talarico. Her describes Talarico's bid to become the first Democrat elected to a Texas Senate seat since 1988 before moving to Alaska's similarly named candidates.

The station's other Election Day coverage also drew unusually large audiences, including Doug Luzader's report on control of Congress and a Minnesota results livestream. Weather became part of the voting story, too: meteorologist Cody Matz's Florida flooding report described submerged roads and polling places relocated across seven counties.
