Kreiss-Tomkins wins Alaska governor race for Democrats
Reports on Nov. 14 said Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins won Alaska’s governor’s race, giving Democrats the office for the first time since 1998, according to The New York Times and CBS News. NBC News projected that he won a majority on a four-candidate ballot, while Newsweek reported he won without a ranked-choice runoff. The reports provided no vote totals; Fox News pointed to Republican divisions and President Trump’s endorsement of Bernadette Wilson as factors in the race.
