The Senate race in Alaska, which has garnered widespread attention with two candidates named Dan Sullivan, remains in limbo.

What the coverage shows
CBS News and 60 Minutes both foreground Mississippi as unresolved and closely fought, with CBS calling it a surprisingly competitive contest and 60 Minutes emphasizing the razor-thin margin and ongoing count. CBS also broadens the frame in one item by pairing Mississippi with Alaska, while ABC News is the outlier in focusing only on Alaska’s Senate race too close to call.
