Democrat wins Alaska governor's race for the first time in nearly 30 years as Yale dropout, 37, defeats former talk show host
His victory means Democrats will control the governor's office in 30 states, including several they flipped after years of Republican control in places such as Iowa, Georgia, Ohio and Texas.
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.
