CNN, ABC follow other networks, calling Senate race for Arizona Dem. Mark Kelly

CNN and ABC follow The New York Times and other networks in calling the closely contested Senate race in Arizona for Democrat Mark Kelly.

A former astronaut and husband to former Rep. Gabby Giffords, Kelly has defeated Republican incumbent Martha McSally for the late John McCain’s Senate seat.

Kelly has won 51.7% of the vote compared to McSally’s 48.3%.

This leaves Democrats with 48 Senate seats compared to 47 for the Republicans. The former has picked up two seats compared to the latter’s one.

Five seats still remain, including two likely run-offs in Georgia, with Republicans expected to hold onto their slim majority there.
